Penton Odds and Ends Needed

[Daniel P. McEntee]

I got my younger brother's '71 Berkshire running in the last couple of weeks and I'll still be doing some other small work on it. It is sort of a preservation more than a restoration. I need a head like mounting ear or bracket for 35mm forks for it. One of the units on the bike is broken in half and I don't have the other piece. If someone else has a broken one I can fix it. I hope to mount some sort of headlight that looks correct on it. I have an extra large headlight from a later model Penton that I may use, and a CEV unit like Husky and Hercules used, just haven't gotten there yet. I think there are some moped head lights that are similar? Need the bracket first.
   I'm also trying to get started on a '74/'75 rebuild that I need a front wheel for. Mike Winter has a front wheel, but needs a bearing sleeve, and maybe a brake plate. Anybody got any extras out there?
  I sent Mike some pics of the Berkshire, and asked him to post them here. I still haven't figgered that out yet.
  Hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend,
   Dan  McEntee

Dan,
Glad to see you got the bike back together. Foot pegs look good! Could you email your sister-in-laws number? Would like to see what she has left.
thanks,
Tim

Bearing sleeve?  spacer between bearings?

[Daniel P. McEntee]

It's the axle sleeve , I think it's properly called. Haven't seen the wheel yet, but Mike says that's what it's missing. The '73 parts book I have calls it the spacer tube, part number 31.09.011.300. I would think the front wheel changed little during the rest of production. I thought it was a simple spacer tube, and I could make one, but the real part has some threads at one end and I'm not up to that, So, I'll have to find one.
   Thanks a lot,
   Dan McEntee

Hey Tim;
   I'll get you Carol's number off list. There wasn't any movement on the left overs until this weekend. I'll work up a list and send that along. Been meaning to do that anyway.
  Thanks for checking in,

Daniel, I do have a headlight bracket if you still need one.

Hi john;
  Thanks for checking. I just sent you an email off list.
  Thanks again,

Dan,

Check with Al Buhner on the axle spacer.  I'm pretty sure he has what you need.

Daniel, try my e- mail [email protected] thanks.

Hi John;  Just sent you an email. My ISP is AOL so sometimes others looks on that as spam. Let me know if it doesn't get through. I sent an email over the weekend through the list, but I may have messed that up.
   Thanks alot,
