The photos in my most recent post show the lower clamp off the ATC250R kickstarter already chopped off. The next step was to turn down the Bultaco kickstarter arm to a 10 mm diameter shaft.
I then bored a 10 mm hole all the way through the base part of the Honda kickstarter and pressed the two parts together. Given my lack of machinist training, I was happy to nail an easy but tight press fit.
I still have some steps to complete. I still need to weld the two parts together, which I will do both at the top and bottom of the shaft, and I need to re-drill the hole in the side for the detent ball and spring.
It’s not exactly pretty, but it will work! Now I can continue with fabricating the footpegs and pedals.
