I think they were about $165 or something. With the bezel. I found them on eBay.

Re: My 63 Project
After spending so much time on the firewall, I pretty much made up my mind that I could spend MONTHS getting it perfect and realizing that I can't do that, I went ahead and cleaned it all up, primed it and painted it.

I suppose we all get to the point where we know we aren't making a Ridler.... So get it done and make it look good.

One full coil plus 2" in the drop spindles should bring the nose down some.

That was pretty easy. Hand packing wheel bearings is not so fun.

Re: My 63 Project
And then I got lucky, my after market wheels that I had been using with a roller, also are after market enough to handle the disk brakes.

I didn't think they were going to fit, which really would have caused some problems because I wouldn't be able to put it back together until I bought my final wheels. So now I can. Which is awesome!!

So now that we have got her out of the clouds. And I think we will gain another inch or two when I put that motor back in.
