I have a Cali 2 engine in my Eldo. I bought the crank adapter from Mark at
Guzzi Classics. Worked like a dream. As for the gen bracket holes. I
marked the drill bit depth by measuring the old hole in the old block with a
tooth pic. I tool a punch and marked the center of the bosses. Then using
a variable speed drill, slowly drilled the holes until I reached the depth
marked with a piece of tape wrapped around the drill bit. I then installed
a set of studs with loctite rather than using bolts. I mounted the bracket
using locknuts with nylon inserts. So far so good.

Several Loop Listers have done similar swaps and I need their input. I
intend to use the Ambo timing cover and generator instead of the stocker
cover and alternator. Here are my questions:
1. Did you use the Teo Lammers crank adapter from Moto International to
mount the pulley to the front of the crank? Is it of decent quality
reflecting the now $120 price? Eyeballed the situation this evening and
it looks like I could use an Eldo crank sprocket and stock pulley
adapter if I could figure out how to keep the pulley from spinning on
the tapered nose of the Convert crank. Some sort of chemical locker
maybe.
2. How did you drill the bolt holes in the top of the case for the
generator bracket - just eyeballed it, used a jig of some sort or? I'd
really like to get them straight!
Thanks in advance,
Charlie
