I've seen two floorboard setups for ambo/eldos and no doubt
there are more.

One kind (which I have a set of) has DB surfboard style floorboards
mounted on a H-shaped frame that uses the rear engine bolt for
one support and the centre of the "H" as a front support. This
kind generally has a loop welded above and to the rear of the
shifter shaft to support the left end.

The other set of floorboards that I saw has a forwards control setup,
with a linkage from a pedal located towards the front of the board
to the shifter linkage. The brake has a similar linkage on the
opposite side.

Hi,
Ok, so here's another question. I am planning to use stock floorboards=20
on my 73 Eldo. After Jeff's dilemma came up and I checked the=20
appropriate parts on my bike, I noticed that the end of the shaft he was=
=20
concerned about (the one that goes into the left rear hole of the tranny=
=20
and sticks out to the left footpeg) does not line up with any of the=20
support holes in the floorboard rail. This shaft is listed in the parts=20
book in Plate 9, #13, part #1325 1165. However, in the police addendum=20
it is in Table 9, #30, part #1325 1240. Obviously two different parts.

In order to use the stock floorboards do I need to find the police=20
version of the shaft and if so, where does the far left end of this=20
shaft go? Does anyone have one for sale or trade (thinking ahead)?
Thanks
Ray
