[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 103336, member: 2879"] I am not sure I can reach him by phone, but I'll email him about it. That's an interesting picture. Looks like a Norton points housing with an experimental coil setup. It must have been easier to prepare a machine then. We are a bit constrained for location when these gearbox conversions are done if we choose the center of the casting hole behind the regular lower gearbox mount hole. If I had known what I do now I would have filled the casting hole and made the lower mount a bit off center and lower so it was closer to the correct location that the Burman uses and centered in the hole in the inner case. I didn't know the Commando mainshaft to lower mount distance at the time. Well, I am pretty sure no one will be tearing up what I am making and putting a regular Comet together anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
