\nDrilling a slightly larger hole with the drill press sounds like a pain.<\/p>\n

A 52 by 6mm punch\u2014our shop’s press machine said, “Won’t it just punch through?” Normally you’d need shear blades, but it worked. Smooth.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe plate was bigger at first, but we made clearance cuts and ended up with this.<\/p>\n

Glad we didn’t have to lighten it from the start.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSorry about the sharp bend marks. There’s a ton of wiring to route. For now, clear coat.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nThat’s how it came together.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThat’s a pretty sharp melt pattern. It’d be tough unless there’s a serious short.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFor now, we cut it off.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFresh one. The cause must be somewhere else, so do your best.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFewer holes means wiring is harder to route, which puts stress on it.<\/p>\n

We figured out the routing and punched it out snap by snap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That’s what we got. The headlight stay went from 35 to 37 millimeters, so we covered it with some nose oil.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThis spot smells bad. It’s melting.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe stock angle and straight fittings, though not many.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThat’s what we did. We also eliminated the shared fastener and made it one piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFirst priority is to get it running and registered. Muffler modification looks like it’ll be tricky, so we’re skipping it this time.
\nFor now, we made a muffler bracket and hung it up.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBent it,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nflattened it and added radius,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nwelded a plate,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nand connected it that way.<\/p>\n
