This is one of those deals that has been rattling in my head for months...
With my new found free time and a cold night, I just got to it.
I had this air cleaner from the T lounging on the shelf since I sold it.
Thought about adapting it to the bike, but never liked any way I could make it fit...
So, it sat on the shelf.
I have intentions to cut the cam cover on the bike this winter.
I also have a pile of points covers, which I kinda hate.
And I had this old finned tri-power, 2 barrel air cleaner I would never use.
I got around to trying to mill off the mounting hole for this air cleaner tonight, to repurpose it as a points cover.
My old drill press does not like being used as a mill, so out came a grinder and a beer.
A few holes later, for mounting screws, and my new finned points cover is a real thingy...
I need to grab some longer machine screws to hold it on and clearence the backside some more, but there it is.
I had almost forgotten how easy this shit comes.
Or maybe I had thought about it so long, it seemed easy.
It was good to fire up some dormant tools.
Better than buying some bit of crap, for sure...
I could never find a match for that air cleaner. It is some old odd shit from Eelco I think.
It has a new life now...
Isn't that what we all want?
