crazy idea

[Mickey_Fx]

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I'm not the only one that has had a crazy idea.

From my quick look it looks like I might have an easier time of it than was had on the YM1100. My front pivots mount from the bottom and it looks like the drive shaft is a straight in-line arrangements. From the initial look it appears I might be able to move fwd to point where I can use the current front pivot point as the rear pivot point. Does look like I need to see what if any problems exist with current position of the steering above the front differential.

Hey, Mark, haven't see a post from you in some time, here or on MU. Hope all is well

I am planning on doing the same thing in the near future also on my F16D.

Your F24 is very different from mine, but I'm still very interested.

Be sure to post pictures of the project. as far as the front drive shaft. There are places ( at least here) that will extend the shaft & balance it. The steering arm shouldn't be too hard to extend

Hi Ernie,

Sorry I've not said Hi in awhile. That's a mighty nice offer you've made but that's the kind of guy you are.

If I undertake this mod, it will likely come a little later this yr or over the winter. Just too many things I need doing now.

Understand Chris has some sample labels/stickers for you. Said they look better than the sample you sent him. Hope this works out for the both of you.
