Looks like the 8820 crank has six bolts. Has anyone converted a four bolt flylwheel to a six hole? What other problems will I encounter? Thanks for your responses. [Reply]   [No Email]

Maybe the frame bolts will be 3/4 instead of 5/8. chris   [Reply]  [No Email]

A new replacement crank for the 404 will have the same 6 holes and will instruct you to plug the two extra holes with thread lock sealer and two set screws. The remaining four holes will line up with your original flywheel bolt pattern. Every thing will bolt right up.   [Reply]  [No Email]
