QL Craddle Mod

[Leadslingingdaddy]

Is there a reason that a second support bar is not used for the ISO mount mod???

Wouldn't this enclose the entire support section??

Thanks

There is NO factory available part for this application. Custom fabrication can be done. See image..

Roland,

I see where everyone is using the single bar across the cradle but never 2...

Is it that a signle bar provides enough support?

Heck, why only 4 ISO mounts... Is there room for 3 on a side....a littel fabrication may be needed.... : - )

I have 2 mounts to play with .....

This is the most common cradle modification. It is found in our Technical Library Section. See..... Modification

This confuses me too. It looks like the oil pan clears the second support.

I've got to do a cradle mod on my 1650 so this thread is very much of interest.

Thanks,
Bill

I have done the ISO Cradle mod on my 1450. I used a thick enough brace (just one) to where I still have NO issue(s).

I have seen posts where people have made the second brace, rounded it to fit under the Engine Blower Housing. Not too people take that extra step.

This is the modified cradle from my Dad's 1450:
