I hadn’t noticed the rear brake but the side doors looked modified alright. I think you will need a good fan/thermostat set up and 12 volt is the way to go IMHO.

Where is the kickstart shaft in relation to the body? Is it in a place where a linkage or a wheel and chain system wont work?

Being half way through a slow build of one myself, there is a couple of interesting things from the pic of Ken’s.

The 350 is tightly fitted if mine is anything to go by, had to panel beat out a wee bit in places, so cooling from airflow is not as good as it could be I guess. Just looking at the side doors on Ken’s, they have been modified to being pretty open really, the outer shape gone ad the inner fins/slats cut out.

Also the rear brake is on the outside, as the guide for building a JZeta described. I am looking to route my rear brake inside the frame, there is a way I think, to have that a cleaner look, not that is really matters.

I guess with today’s technology, I am going to fit an electric fan to mine, and possibly turn it to 12 volt so the lighting is better than crappy 6 volt can be, although I know they make brighter 6 volt bulbs these days.

But great story and historic info here, thanks to Ken and Jim for posting it up 🙂
