Barry,dont send us a pic of your head, it probly wont fit, youll have to downsize it,just kidding

here is some more pics, the little brown spots areeeeee, oh there where the old blind nuts went and i pluged them with dowels. when you go to mount the mount(nothing sounding right today)mine is 3/16in higher than the old thrust line as you can see in the pic,(the two little black marks just left of the hole. and you can see how close the screw on the carb and the screw on the mount are, about a 16th in.if you need any more pics i can get them.
