[Bruce]

Im gonna start a thread for this instead of posting all over like I been doing....this is gonna be a winter project for My friend Ken and I.  picked it up this week and started making plans.

soon as a find a photo resizer i can figure out i'll post some pics of the fenders etc we intend to use.

Why not upload to Photobucket and have them resize for you ?

Resize them to 800-1000 wide. This size works well for most people to view the photos. Any smaller and it is hard to see the details.

here we go.....fenders from 2008 ambassador...you get the idea

[Bruce]

few more....bike and Ken

[Bruce]

okay..heres how I installed the 212 on my ambassador and probably will make something like it for the Simplex...not sure if I posted these before but here it goes anyway

[Bruce]

few more...how it came out

How did you construct your intake manifold?

[Bruce]

I bought the carb intake from agk for go carts... Its round down to the D shaped of the HF engine... Cut that and just an elbow on (hose) with a inner pipe to stop it from caving in.   It needs a sharp 90 made really... Around 1 1/2" if I remember correct.
  That let us install the motorcycle type carb...that ones a 26mm whizzer carb

[Bruce]

this part but I bought one of the earlier ones without a pulse fitting...wouldnt matter anyway really.

worksman wheels are on the way for this...so its gonna have to be a 26" cycle now.  we will probably use the whizzer fenders from a newer ambassador if we cannot locate a good set.  We found a beat up rear and front for the brackets and salvaged the taillight braket parts....the light itself is toast.
  Now we can just source out 26" tires more commonly used instead of the cokers.

Coker also makes the more common size 26" simplex tire.  Will you use this, or a whizzer or bicycle tire?

bought a new set of Ambassador wheels, fenders, handle bars,brakes, controls and cables from Whizzer for a little over 200. great to deal with. They took them off a new bike.

Their number is 877 944-9937.

Good luck

P.S. axels are the only problem being only 10mm, made spaces.
