David, 

 

That is the same article Buckeye Tech Article I was going to post.  

 

It worked perfectly for my TR250  J-type conversion also, just like the instructions with a few modifications below.  

 

I went to my local hardware store, got some angle iron and nut/bolt/washers, then to my local Oreilly’s Auto parts and bought a pack of two poly bushes that I cut in half to make top and bottom donut bushes, used some old tube shock washers to sandwich the bushings.  I also used some thin rubber sheet cut to isolate the angle iron from the chassis.  I put my angle drive out the bottom for easier maintenance which takes a bit of grinding of the angle iron for the angle drive clearance, then I wrapped some heat reflective exhaust wrap since it its above the exhaust pipe.

 

Tape measure, Hack saw, 4” die grinder, and drill press, and I think I spent $15 for all the bits.

 

One upgrade is I used bolts-length-to-size for the bushes to the OD tail, drilled the bolt heads for a steel safety wire

Is this helpful? I used these instructions to build the mount for the J-type on my TR250, the speedo cable is a tight fit using the angle drive
