Some time ago, when i trusted people in the mini bike world, i bought a Heald Super Bronc (probably a vt1015). It was modifed, painted an ugly green. Had a honda gx160 engine and a standard clutch with a band brake. But the fenders were there. Also have an empty jackshaft bracket and gas tank. So it didn't seem awful.
But after I removed all the pipe foam surrounding the frame (where the gas tank would have been installed), the story changed a bit...
Yes that is 3/4" copper pipe. He even tried to solder it in place.
I'll bend up some 1" tubing and fix the missing piece. Also fix the swiss chess motor plate.
But I have no brake system for this. I would like to have that nifty disc brake system on the jackshaft. Just can't find those parts anywhere. Has anyone done that modification? If so, what parts did you use and where did you get them?
Lastly i need to get a torque converter for this. Is it better to use a 7" driven? And would that be asymmetric or symmetric style? That is series30 or series40? I have a nice Tecumseh 10 hp motor already, with a slide carb,. I will make a straight exhaust. Probably will be loud as crap, but the original muffler isn't exactly available...
thanks!
