Things I’ve done since my last post;

I replaced the oval footboards that I had installed with a set that I fabricated to match the octagonal Model G design. I replaced the Whizzer rear wheel belt sheave with a Simplex one. The wire mesh on the side of the chain guard that I fabricated didn’t achieve the look I was after so I covered the mesh with a solid plate. I fabricated a clutch pedal and linkage, the clutch pedal isn’t functional but it just didn’t look right to me without one. I ran the wiring for the headlight and tail light (just temporarily for now as I haven’t figured out how I’m going to power them up yet). I used cloth wire loom for covering the wiring of the headlight, kill switch and tail light. I’m now re-doing the rear brake pedal and linkage trying to improve on my initial effort.

I got an email on Friday that my seat is just about complete and should be shipped (hopefully) by the end of this week or early next. Once it arrives I’ll be working on getting that installed.

Hello all,

Bob, thanks for the effort putting this web site out there for all of us.

I’m building a custom Simplex based on the early 1940’s military model G-A-1. I’ve been able to find a few pictures and some bits and pieces of information on the web but not a lot. If you have any information that you would like to share I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Mike
