You don't want to do that.
If "G" can't help I'll send you one with the parts.
Check with "G". .................lm

As you know I am away from home until 8th Sept but I have looked through your thread and your project is very interesting.

I'll be happy to help with general advice and will find you a lower case with tensioner hardware. I may be able to help with the other parts too.

As well as the early '61 bike I have the potential to build a couple of '62s but only want to do one. The more patient you are the less money you will spend. I would happily arm-wrestle you (and probably lose) for your front fender.... :-)

I think (but maybe I'm wrong) that your rear shocks should have steel uppers on them. If you read through my thread you will see some examples.

It would be interesting to see your entire project.

Probably the best piece of advice offered. In the end when that last obscure part to finish is needed you can justify the hefty price it may command.

Amen to that.
