My problem is the bottom end wont fit in my kitchen stove hahaha I wonder if it can be cured with a torch?
I like the Ural style headlight on the right because that's what I have on my project. Mine has the visor though. I paid $100 to get it shipped from Ukraine and $45 for shipping. It took 8 weeks to get here and I thought I might have been stiffed. Still trying to figure out what speedo I'm going to use in it.
Is that headlight you posted from an Ural? Where did you find it?
One more thing if you do go with the headlight on the right. The bulb socket is not meant for a regular H4 halogen bulb but looks like it could be modified pretty easily to make it work.
As far as painting the engine, I think if you just use automotive paint through a sprayer with the hardeners and everything you shouldn't have any problems. I'm pretty sure you can get some high temp stuff.
What did you end up getting for inverted levers? For wiring, you can use 18 ga for most things like taillight, gauge lights, turn signals etc. You can use 18ga for the headlight too unless you're running a really high watt bulb.
