Half day PTO but once I got downstairs, realized I was "between jobs" and nothing big to do.
Unfortunately, the $60 straight pipe was a no-go. I think it may be made for an Early head, but even then, not quite sure where the mounting point actually attaches. Well, maybe I can reshape it for a Late head one day.
Stymied on removing the old stud bolts from the Ivy motor, too. Got the stud remover tool, but in order to really crank down and lock the teeth, I need a wrench that opens up to 31mm and the one I have fell just short of that.
Ivy's exhaust valve cap was leaking, so swapped it out with Roxy's.
Did some parts auditing. Updated the M3 Hot Box parts. Also updated all the locations of the cylinder jugs to be correct.
Upstairs, unboxed all the new parts I'd been accumulating. Have a total of 2 new cranks, 4 new shift spindles and 2 more kickstarts.
Noting the differences between the shift spindles. Thought that the distance between the prongs mattered but in testing it didn't seem to. Left with 1 bad one that can't find second for some reason. Then one of the new ones has a bent shaft that jams when inserted. Probably fixable. But still left with 3 good ones.
Stymied trying to install the new Dime City shift pedal, only because it has a clearance issue with the step bar. But have a couple options for stepbars (Ivy's and Evie's) so will need to do some swapping around and see what works.
