A couple of people I know have done the type 9 conversion. The best way to make the shifter hole look right is to cut it out in a rectangular section, but with the hole offset the needed amount. Then reverse it, and weld back in.(if that makes sense)

Okay, deal is put together and I have my border pass COVID whatevers all sorted to leave in less than a week's time in the Val, rockin' along on an unrego permit to the final destination. On the way back in the truck I'm going to go look at a Honda Grom - those mini-bike looking things you've probably seen tootling around the last few years. I'd love to get back on 2 wheels again and figure this will be a good, cheap way to do it that will sell on easily after if I tire of it. The breakdown bucket so far is a 12v fuel pump, 10g wire, entire new carby, 10L water, coolant concentrate, 5L oil, Z9 oil filter, spark plugs, timing light and hand tools. That should sort out whatever the last owner hasn't, although the truck is regoed so can't be too horrid. Fingers crossed!

jerrry can, multi meter, spare battery, jumper leads, jack, tie wire, zip ties, duct tape, decent torch, drinking water, snacks..

Waaaay heavier..! Cast iron housing Vs Alloy.

Yeah FMX is more beefier than c4 but heavier

Yeah mate, took out the C4 and Borgy, slipped it under the bench, 'cos it's all matching number. Built up a 351 from bits and pieces I had in the shed, and bolted to my old FMX, 'cos I like to chirp the tyres when changing into 2nd. Would have cost thousands to get a C4 to the same state.
