Here is the wish list. If you would like to help by purchasing a new item through New Breed, I will be donating any profits to a charity. Send me a PM if there is something you would like to purchase in that manner. I can't take money donations this time, since we're not a non-profit, but I can sell parts, and donate the profits.

Matt,

You can put me down for an NOS dash panel, bar pad and chain tensioner. Add to that windshield screws and washers, and a bolt kit too.

Brock,

Nice work on the sleds guys! I know I am going to be shocked to see finished product. I will try to get a care package sent out next weekend.

Thanks to those guys who are donating parts :clap: , but we still have about 2/3 of the list to go yet :popcorn: .

Planning another trip to Brock's place soon, anyone interested in making the trip let me know when your available and we can get another date set and get some more work done :beers; .

Joe I believe It should be the same secondary as the 440 even though they have a different pt #.I can make it work .It might be the preload tension is different,but i will figure it out.I know the sheaves are the same and that is the main thing we need.This is a good Item that we needed for the resto,The original is rusted pretty bad,and would be hard to make look nice.Thanks so much for your help Brock
