My worry is the CX tag getting damaged.

I looked into taking it off. and I dont think it can happen without pulling the head of keeper thru the tag.

No pictures to show. got the tranny case all cleaned up and picked up all the rebuild parts for it.
also ordered the Gardner exhaust for it today.
and the pistons should be here this week. slowly getting there.

Repros are a close match and originals can be rebuilt/restored (not cheap tho). Can't remember the repro dealers, but several sell them. Donnie's looks to be a restored original.
