I finally completed my first NormK special using G4 bits. A lot of fine adjustments and some grinding and searching for the right sizes of bolts and screws were required, but it was a lot more fun and interesting doing it, than I expected.
Well, the moment of truth when I fitted it to this mule and it fired first pull yay.
It was already dark so I didn't want to annoy people, but it went well the few seconds I ran it.
I think I will stick to LMs if I do any others, as that screw in the G4 cam was quite an ordeal finding the right size to fit!!
But I'm very pleased so far and it was a lot of fun modifying it. Thanks for sharing Norm!!
Does anyone have a suggestion where I can mount the kill button, which is loose at the moment as there is not much clearance under the engine cover on this machine?

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
