Thank you everyone! The input from "Loud Mouse" was spot on. Routes perfectly, the 10 mm eyelet fits appropriately over the engine mounting bolt, and it even matches the curvature the had set into the old ground wire casing over the years. Problem solved...now on the the next "mystery". One of these...

Thanks, Stan. I noticed that you have a '67 CL77. Do you know if that was the same mounting for all years? Reason that I ask is that the end of the grounding end of the two straps I have (old one and nicer replacement) both have a clip that takes a 10 mm bolt, which is a lot larger than the mounting...

If so, which side of the frame and is it supposed to be 1.) on the bolt head side in contact with the frame mount flange or 2.) between the frame mount flange and t...

The engine that I have is a good match to the bike in that it is also has a serial number that places it in the early Type I small hub CL77 series but if I ...

Am doing a museum quality restoration on an early Type I, small hub, CL77 with the above frame serial #. The motor is also from an early Type I CL77 but the numbers are several hundred off from the frame #. Am trying to locate an engine casing with a serial # that is closer to the frame #. Something...

Ran into the same problem. Has to do with the placement of the electrodes in the plating process and most platers cannot get them placed such that the plating will get into the valleys of the rims. Found a plater north of Dayton, Ohio that believes that he can do the rims. Am going to try him. Have ...

You might also consider stepping up the size on the front sprocket. One tooth more up front is worth about three teeth less in back.
