Nice work! You have a tubular steel crossmember. Mine is the original one. Not tubular at all. I will have to just get the kit and then heavily document the whole process so others never have to deal with these issues again. Its a HUGE deal for me since I already spent around a grand painting the frame (and crossmember) and expect to have to do it all over again.

Then there is the new MC being in a different place because of the power booster, and there is no filling the MC during normal service without changing the cab floor to accommodate the change.

This is what I do. Document and try to make sense out of these kinds of changes. My frustration comes from asking, then changing the words around and asking again, then asking a different way, times 100, to get the answers I need to just get started. In the end I prevail, but my question about what changes are necessary starting from a standard, original 1950 3100 still stands. Anyones input is always appreciated. Its a worthwhile upgrade because the single cylinder MC is rather dangerous already, but add all around drum brakes, and there is room for improvement. One thing is for sure, this whole venture will be very carefully documented so this is never an issue for anyone ever again. smile
