I will look into that tank and radiator. Will the radiator need a fan or can i get away with just running a radiator?
Also, what do guys usually do for a throttle cable and choke cable on the
Engine swaps since the sleds have dual carbs. the sled Engine was right in front of the controls so the stock sled cables aren't near long enough. The choke cable i thought about just mounting right behind the drivers head but the throttle up there would be a little inconvenient hehe.
What are my options as far as the seat re-covering. Can i just take it to an upholstery shop and they can recover it. My seat is faded in all the places except where the seat belt layed and then in the bottom of the seat it looks like someone had a wild ride
. haha i think this thing sat outside for a few years.
All of my cables are froze up. They are in good shape minus being stuck. I managed to work one shifter cable free but the other one i am not having such luck. Also, the 2 brake cables are froze up. Is there any trick to getting these things free? Or am i just doomed to replacing them?
Is there any way to take the shock springs off of the shocks easily? The springs could use a good coat of paint and a polishing but i don't want to get a ton of over spray on the shocks themselves.
One last thing i am kinda still concerned about is making the wiring harnesses interact with each other. Where would be the best place to begin with this? I would figure it out eventually but if someone else has done this before and can give their opinion it would make life much easier. Ive got the complete wiring harness from both the odyssey and the sled so anything i need from each is there. I am fairly certain i am going to want to use the stock odyssey harness and then graft the sled harness pieces in there like the 3 electronics pieces?
Boy with all these questions i feel as if i am a complete noob. Although alot of the things i could figure out myself, but like i said if someone has been there done that it will make life a whole bunch easier. Thanks for the help guys, i think i have been bitten by the pilot-odyssey bug.. i already have plans to restore my first fl350 or at least do a better job at the restoration once this one is done. that one never got the chassis painted or the suspension parts painted... i was too eager to get it running.
So, onto the update on the current situation of this odyssey. Ive got the frame all stripped down and the
motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )) mounts are being re-welded. The motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) mount welds that were on the frame when we picked it up were good for tacking but im sure they would have ripped apart as soon as the Engine started. All of the suspension pieces and little odds and ends are in a few boxs ready to be sand blasted so i can throw a fresh coat of paint on them. I am thinking the gold pieces are going to be white (wheels included) and then leave the black stuff black. The frame will stay red. once i get everything fabbed up i will have the frame and roll cage blasted and painted red. Its nice to know someone that can sand blast and paint for me! It really makes me feel good that i have saved another odyssey from just rotting away, although its a shame that the stock Engine for this one was just thrown away after it seized.
Again, thanks for everything. You guys are a big help!
