[QUOTE="davidd, post: 103332, member: 1177"] Ron, Carleton did this conversion and ran his Newby inside a stock cover. I doubt he has a photo, but a call to him might boost your confidence. I think I have mentioned this here, but it would probably be unsearchable. My memory was that he told me he had to cut the shroud. He did not mention it being too near the bolt hole, but he was running an Albion box. The difference may just be that your box is mounted a bit higher, so the clutch is closer to the top of the primary inner. Frankly, it looks fine to me. I would mill that off. The belt should be tight to the drum up there and not flapping around. [ATTACH=full]25521[/ATTACH] You can't see too much here, but you can spot the belt in the empty cap hole. We shared a garage in the pits at the 1999 Mid Ohio race. That is the 1-7/16" carb he was running at the time. David [/QUOTE]
