Magneto (and everybody else),
Clear as mud! More questions. I'm sorry to be so dense, but I need to update the technical article with the correct information. That means I have to get everything straight in my head - which is getting harder to do every day. And I thought these stupid brackets would be so simple...
I just got an email from ROGER MEINKE, who wrote:Hi Dave - regarding the notch in the headlight bracket; years ago I had a complete NOS early tach kit, and am about 99% certain it had a paper template as part of the instuctions that properly positioned where to put the notch and the size of it. Remember, these are my almost 70 year old brain cells trying to function, but if you throw this out there it might jog someone else's memory also.

1959 to 1962 - used the -59 eyebrow. One hole for the rotary switch.
Question 1: What is the casting number?
Question 2: What size is the hole for the rotary switch?
Answered by Roger - Late-1962 - if you bought the tach kit, you would have to file your own notch
1963 to Early 1966 - used the -59A eyebrow. One hole for the toggle switch (what size is the hole?)
Question 1: What is the casting number?
Question 2: What size is the hole for the toggle switch?
Question 3: Do they all have the notch for the tach cable? Or only some of them (like factory-installed tachs)?
If only some of them, then Roger's answers holds here also for purchasers of the tach kit.
Late 1966 to 1969 - Two holes, one for toggle, one for indicator light.
Question 1: What is the casting number?
Question 2: Are the domed indicator lights and the flat lights the same size?
Question 3: Do you agree on 66-67 being domed and 68-69 being flat?
Thanks for your patience.
Dave
