I made my top brackets for an AOL set-up on my 74. Mine is diiferent in that I didn't remove any leaves, I just added the AOL for towing capacity.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: wanting to make rear bag brackets

I was wondering if the brackets should be stronger with most of the leaves removed compared to a aol setup for towing,a pic would be nice.and what thinkness of metal should I be using

I used .250" plate & would recommend that regardless.
