Mounting of hand starter unit

Post by leo verhagen » Wed Oct 18, 2006 8:36 pm

Can anyone tell me how the handstart unit (left on photo) is connected to the tube (right on photo) and how this tube is mounted to the crossmember.
A detailed discription or even better a photo is highly appeciated :!:
(I do have GPA TM's and GPA parts list drawing but I can't figure it out :o )

Hi Leo,

it is mounted in the bracket on the side of the chassis (the one with all the holes in it).

You can barely see it in the picture, but hopefully it helps ! :wink:

Best regards,

It is a little tricky thing to do!
Hard to explain on this forum.
When you are in that stage I will gladly assist you.

Thanks for your replies, I'm working on this part right now Bob, but from Glenn I learned now the right part is fitted on the frame and not on the cross member and that is a part of the information I needed.
