[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 48433, member: 2806"] I fear I already know the answer to this, but can someone tell me the spacing between the holes at the bottom of the cowling on a twin (i.e. FT163)? Twenty years ago I bought some parts for my Vincent at the Netley Marsh autojumble. For twenty years I've lived with the tranquility of knowing these parts would replace the ones that were missing on my still-being-restored Vincent. That tranquility was shattered recently when I discovered the sidestand assembly I bought is from a Comet. Well, on the bright side, this means I've finally started seriously working on the Vincent. I fear the beautiful cast Al housing I have also is from a Comet (FT113), but before I spend the money to buy one for my twin I'd like to be absolutely sure. The spacing between the mounting holes on it is 5-7/8". Thanks in advance for your help with this. [/QUOTE]
