[QUOTE="Calle, post: 101981, member: 1266"] Answer, from Calle who built a Victor lookalike There are certainly several different solutions to your problem. As shown by all posts on the forum, you must decide if you want to make a Victory copy or just mount the tail on a Comet. My answer is based on the option to build a Victory copy. If you got an original rear fiberglass Rear end cowl assy (SL4), which is complete and not destroyed, leave it as it is and order a new fiberglass part and create a new inner frame. I think it's impossible to customize a Prince or Knight tail to a Comet without destroying the original parts. In any case, you must remove the internal frame and modify to fit the Comet frame. This will more or less destroy the original parts. If you choose to complete a Victor project, I can assist with photos and my experiences. The pictures are from 2010 and the machine has now got a Norton AMC gearbox, Newby belt and another silencer. [URL]http://vincenthrd.se/Harhant/Bornholm2010/Bornholm2010.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
