Need to know if the footpeg brackets and adjoining frame tube, on a '68, have serrated indexing teeth like the later model Steeltankers. The ends where they would be, are broken off this frame, and I don't have the footpegs either. Thanks
I looked at picture 29a in the Steel Tank Project Images, but it's blurry.
Hi Bob, Dave working this evening, so I will respond to you. Serrated, Photos of the repair Dave had to make of his 68 with same issue coming your way. Nelson McCullough
Nelson, thanks for the great pictures, Dave did a fabulous job on those. Yes I'll be at VMD. Thank you for your help. Bob
Bob,
A few 68's had solid non-folding footpegs welded direct to the frame with no serrations. Look like they were designed to impale!
No idea how many were this way or what frame numbers, but did see these at the 50th.
Think I have a photo or two. Give me your email.
Clark

Well - I was wrong.
In looking back at my pics they all have the serrations. The solid fixed footpegs were also bolt-on types with the serrations.

Clark, Yeah I've been studying some v003 pictures, and believe it'll be safe to go ahead and repair the ends of the damaged frame tube that the peg brackets bolt to. Still need to find foot pegs, and brackets. I appreciate you thinking of me, and trying to help though. For future reference / or anytime, email is bobwardlow at att dot net.
