Cool!
Start by installing the bananas onto the engine. The nut for the top bolt is captured by the engine casing, so just slide it into position and tighten the bolt on. The lock washer will go on the outside/bolt head, not the nut (just as I placed them on the parts.) The all thread is for the bottom in case your bolt is too short. Then hold the controls up, and find where you want them placed. Then mark the bananas where you want them, and drill a 10.5mm hole for the bolts on the control shaft to go through them. I would suggest bolting/clamping the bananas together when drilling the holes, so that they will be in the same location on both. Then bolt them back on, bolt the shafts to the bananas, and put the foot controls on. Then find the best place for the tabs for the linkage rods to be placed (think this through carefully, and try several different locations before deciding) then mark where they will go with a sharpie. Take them to some with a welder, and have them welded on. Then just put them back on, and install the linkages. If you need to cut the rods, you can cut a 1/2 inch off each end before you would need to re thread. The thread is an M8X1.25. However I think I have them the right length. Also when you do the final assembly, be sure to grease the shafts where the foot controls pivot.
If you encounter any problems, just let me know and I will try to help.

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
