Any last words because I'am almost ready to start tacking it down?

One more pic.

If you can explain a little better, what dimensions that you want, I can go out in the garage and do some measuring for you. I've got a 444 with an original fender in the garage now that I'm working on.

Bottom of engine pan to top of of chassis member i have 6 1/2inches so i know how high the chassis to fender should be front and rear.Then from front of the 1 inch pan tube to the front of the fender & same from rear tube to rear fender edge.Then from the outside of tabs on the end of each 1inch tube where the handle bar assembly mounts to the engine pan to the otter edge of the fender.I feel i have it as it should be but would like to just confirm before zap zap.This was a real screw up on my part got a little to excited to do the tear-down.

OK, I think I got what you need. At the front of the engine pan, there is a 1 1/4" tube. From the front of this tube to the front of the fender is 13". At the rear of the engine pan is a 1 1/2" tube. From the rear of this tube to the rear of the fender is about 14 5/8". My snowflap is still on, so it is hard to get an exact measurement. From the outside of the tabs where the handle bars mount to the side of the fender: front tabs- 4 1/16" ; rear tabs 4 9/16". If you need anything else or if I measured in the wrong place, let me know.

BANG ON ! Except the rear is 14 7/8 but that is great thanks Frank.So with your blessing she will get nailed down.I know you commented earlier to just follow the factory welds to lower the distortion?So any fitment issues from this point on i can blame Frank! LOL LOL LOL.Thanks again Frank.

Well just ordered new track from Barrie and continue at a slow pace but here is were I'am at for now.She is all welded up just have to weld in tie rod/ball joint.But seem to be haveing an issue changing the bearings in the axle as the seem to not want to push out or move at all??They are just press fit right???????????
