When did they stop putting the extra casting (the one that hangs down

 Anyway, I plan to use it and the Convert engine I have in "Freebie" the
'72 Ambo. I remember a post regarding the speedo cable position of the
later trans. and how modify the Loop battery tray to clear (Dave
Washburn?) Or should I just find an Eldo rear trans. cover?

Hi Charlie, You are going to make an Ambo with a Convert motor with a
5-speed?

We are here to help:

The greasy hunk in the first two pictures is from a 1977 SP, no extra
casting that I can see. I think my 5-speed back cover was from a 1975
"T". It had the casting but it was not machined for the shifter so I
asked Manfred to do it when he rebuilt the transmission.

The third greasy hunk photo is of the mod to the battery tray. I made a

nice big hole so I can change the speedo cable without taking apart the
bike.

Prizes to anyone who IDs the last photo. It is in VA.

So Dave, trip to Bush Gardens with the inlaws?
