Should the seat be offset to the right buy a few inches on the Oliver 500 gas?
I never noticed before. Ken finally started working on the parts for mine. He made a whole new cross box for it using the measurements right from the old one. He brought the new one Friday to test fit it,brought the old one along too. The seat is offset a few inches.
I looked at the pictures of Jim's in Oliver Heritage. One picture shows it straight down the hood. It looks to me like the seat is perfectly centered with the steering wheel. I can't imagine why transferring the dimensions right from the old one to a new one would throw it off. At least not that far. He has the notch for the centerlink mounts on the rockshaft lined up right.
Should that right fender be right up against the casting on the axle housing? It's notched out for the bolt heads and we slid it right out so those notches are over the bolt heads and the fender is right up against the casting. That right fender was the only one that he had bolted on. He's still rebuilding the left one. I can't see sliding that right fender far enough away from there to center that seat.
