    Great job FLOP. You're making it look EASY! (We all know otherwise).
    Why are the rubber biscuits on top of the spacers?

    thanks grease! in my opinion i think either way will work the same . rubber is under the mount as well isolating the frame from vibrations but mounting surface is raised and inch and 3/4

    Same body with two different cowls? I like the one with the V'd windsheild, is it a 30-31 Commercial cowl ore one you modified? Great work as always. Bob
