Great thoughts/ideas so far--keep them coming.
I had no idea I needed to swap out the nose--Thanks. I had just put in a new front rubber mount by sliding everything back (tricky and tight) but came out great.
Have read that red(poly) is not a good color for mounts.
The horns do not look like they have ever been hit and show no rust-look solid. Would sloppy trans mounts-nose and bell housing weak mounts let the engine flex enough to cause a higher left side after some "spirited runs"? I think that that is the same rotation of the engine?? Speedy is in storage for a few more weeks.
For an 1835 it has excellent get up.
I am the 2nd owner--no documents or notes passed forward due to PO passing before sale.
