Okey dokey, Had lunch with Pete today and he brought along his FAM and pointed out
that it documents the R.P.O. in detail. So the mud has been cleared from the lens and I
can see clearly what’s going on. My FAM is still packed away in one of the boxes from
the move I made this past year. But section 7 of the FAM is devoted mostly to R.P.O.
314, which was the H-M option.
There is a left and a right bracket pn.3707655 & 56 that are permanently riveted to the
frame. The engine rear support crossmember pn.3707659 (23 3/4") is bolted to them; this
applies to all of the 3000 models.
At the rear of the transmission there is what is called the “second” crossmember
pn.2296067 shown for the 3100 models only.
It seems clear that a crossmember is not used at the rear of the transmission on the
3600-3800 model frames. The crossmember, which is called the “second” crossmember,
is further back and is where the center support bearing is positioned on these models.
The brake lines are shown running straight back on the left to the 4th or, gusseted
crossmember then across to the right side where the split to front and rear are made.
pn.2286293 Spacer fills in where the clutch once was on the pivot shaft of the pedal
bracket.
