Only the early originals use the collars to hold the spindles. Sometime in 1961, they changed the the bolt style.

To bad you can't read the serial number. It's got a early 61 dash tower. AJ's spot on with the spindles. I can't see what type of starter gen bracket it has on it. Do you remember what it looks like? Thanks for posting pics of your freinds O! It looks great! I hope mine looks that good when I'm done with it.

I'll look at some of the other pics i have of it.

Duke, i found the pic of the geny bracket it looks like a piece of bent flat stock in a U shape

That's the early bracket! It looks like a homemade. He's got a early bird for sure!

That's a great looking O! :beerchug:

I don't see a creeper hole .Do the rear rims have the wider space or smaller space around them?

Lew do you have any pics of the early rims? Allen was just telling me today about them so trying to learn all I can.
