Parts needed are....
1 Rubber bumper Midget front cross member with the recess for the front
pulley.
1 RB Midget frame to hold the motor mounts.
1 RB midget wiring harness
Some modifications to the trans tunnel.
Why would anyone want to do this?
Going from 1500 to 1275 is a piece of cake, I have done it twice myself
and helped a good friend with his 1500 Midget which now looks good with
it's bugeye nose and bugeye tail. And a 1275 of course.
Not to start another 1275 vs 1500 war but the 1275 is definatly a much
better engine. Alot more go fast parts are available for it too. And it
keeps it's rod bearings in place.
