There is a "will fit" cap. I think it is an Arctic Kat piece.
Again, an original in good condition, is both rare and expensive.

Rainville has a brake rotor, and an early Spitfire cap will fit nicely. I just talked to him, and I think that stuff is yours.
Stay tuned.

Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
I hate to give away my secrets Justin but I went to my local Toro dealer and bought two Toro caps. Naturally they don't say JD or Premium Only or anything like that but they also don't say Toro.clackinator wrote:Sorry guys, I keep coming up with more questions here. I took a screw on gas cap off of a Polaris tank and it does'nt fit the JD tank. The JD opening seems smaller. Do they have a unique sized fuel cap?

Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
Thanks again for all the info and help! Have most of you guys used aftermarket windshields on the 340/S restorations? Is there a source for these? Does Jeff Haugen make them?
Also, I think it was Kenny who thought Jerome would be willing to rebuild the crank? Does anyone have contact info for him?

Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
Yes he does. That's his windshield on my 340/S. It won't hurt to ask him about a donation but he said he was unable to help us with the "Charity" sled. I appreciated his explanation that there are getting to be quite few "charity projects" and he wouldn't be able to handle all of them. He has a great product.clackinator wrote:Thanks again for all the info and help! Have most of you guys used aftermarket windshields on the 340/S restorations? Is there a source for these?

Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
Yep, I just got an email back from Jeff. He is not interested in donating one. So, I hope to find someone that is willing to take on that part of the job. Is there anyone out there that would want to buy the windshield and donate it to the build? If so, please let me know. Our cash donations have dwindled down to about enough money to pay the bodyman for his materials. He is donating his labor. Thanks! Clack
Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
Guess I helped out the other sled, might as well help with this one also.
I will donate the windshield.
I will donate the windshield.

Re: Make A Wish Project 340/S kickoff
Good morning gents. We are in the process of moving to a new house so I am up to my ears in work, but here is an update on this weeks progress....
Don Amber sent me a good left foot rest. Thanks Don! That is going to save me a lot of work. I also received the ski assemblies for the Sportfire charity project and I will be getting to those very soon.
Merc Diver is waiting for word on the crankshaft rebuilding. I had emailed Jerome and asked about the project, but I have not heard back from him. It is possible he is on vacation so I hope to hear from him soon.
Someone had volunteered an engine gasket kit also. Without doing a major search of all the threads regarding the project, I just thought I would throw it out there again and say we could really use that. I believe the carb boot search is over and everything is on track with most other items.
We are still hoping for a gas cap, brake rotor and drivers for the front shaft. I hope to get some time to get some photos of the body work progress this week. Our closing on the house is August 3rd, so after that, I should have a bit more time!
Thanks again to Don and others for all the help. This is truly a group effort and I am proud to be involved with it!
