750 Imp - Electronic Components

Spare aluminum, 1/4-20 all-thread, nuts, and the left over softail mounting bracket from the oil tank, that's all you need to mount the battery, starter solenoid, and Vulcan rectifier. Some fab work is required, too.


Cut the tab off.

Cut the aluminum to length.

Time to test the free Lenox blade.

Yes, it does cut well.

File the edges for safety.

Transfer the holes from the bracket to the aluminum.

Drill.

Something like this is the plan. These holes are tapped and ready to use.

Cut the 6ft section into something manageable.

The threads aren't too messed up, so that's good.

Starting to look like something.

I need holes in the battery box now.

I had to unmount the oil tank to get a drill to where I need the holes. It was full of oil, but I didn't have to empty it or disconnect the lines to get at it.

Actually had to clamp up the aluminum to bottom of the battery and and transfer drill up.

Mostly fits, the studs are too long and interfere with the frame on the right side.

I need to mount things to the under bracket. Two holes for the rectifier.

Two holes for the solenoid.

Bolts, nuts, and red loctite.

Cut down the studs to final length.

Looking good.

The solenoid and rectifier are under there now.

Bierkan loves to use adjustable(aka crescent) wrenches just to annoy me.

Time to wire it. Here's Beirkan's plan.

Coil wire routed up the front down tube.

Time make the alternator work with the rectifier.

Tear it up!

Solder it all together.
