That lid looks similar to what Awk posted up. I'm probably going to shoot for a piece of aluminum pipe right now and change it over the winter after my funds have replenished again.
I worked this afternoon on the wheelie bar. Surf, I decided to go to the grab bar mounts. I said I didn't want to because I had found a second grab bar mounting nut stripped out but I just decided to go ahead and weld two replacement nuts in there anyway and use it. I figured higher mounting is better
For the lower mount, I drilled a large piece of 4" tall 1/8" thick plate with four holes in each corner, and welded two pieces of 1" square tubing on the backside. I then sourced two "u bolts" which fit around the carrier and bolted the plate to the carrier.
For the upper mount I fabbed a bracket out of 1 1/2" angle iron around the grab bar mounts and then a piece of angle across the back with a piece of 1" square tubing welded in the middle.
The wheelie bar will be a three leg design quick release with "hitch pins" and "cotter pins" holding it on the back of the quad with the exception of the mounting plates which are bolted on obviously.
I also got the clutch basket mounted on the gear this afternoon and got nearly everything slid together to put the clutch cover on. I then figured out I don't have an inner clutch hub! I think I'm going to whip out the plastic again
and just order a new one.
Piston should be here tomorrow so I'll get the cylinder to the machine shop tomorrow afternoon hopefully back by midweek.
Looks like I'll have it together before Busco on the 22nd but with hardly any tuning time and no room for errors, I'm still up against the clock.
