73M Frame details.

[mx250]

This is the frame, marked 73m, that I'm mucking with for a maybe Vinduro bitza.

Are these standard fittings?

Were these Monties generally or the 73M bad vibrators? These are non standard reinforcing ain't they?

Non standard reinforcments and brackets for sure!
73M was not a vibrator!

I wonder what the story was with this frame. Every engine mount is broken, reinforced, missing and/or holes elongated .

Is this the original tank mount for the 73M?

It looks like a mount was added to the early frame to mount the later
"bean" tank.  The later mount used a bolt going into a threaded portion.
Looks like someone added a stud.

Thanks Jared. I won't feel guilty if I cut it off to fit a Universal tank, which I have. I would like to use a Monty like the fibreglass VB's for the distinstive Monty look but I might just use what I have.
