ARRGGH!! I took the pictures, ready to load them, and found out the drive was out on my computer. I'll post them when I get the new drive installed--maybe a week.

I recently restored my c-51 and I have pics. Do you still need them?

BC,
Please review my posts on this topic that describes the problem I ran into. If your 51 has an interior cooling coil that extends and is exposed about 3" below the fan and coil shroud,,(like mine pictured),,yes,,I would be most interested to see a picture showing the lower spindle bracket in that area. Even though I have "fixed" my problem, I think I'm getting obsessed with finding the answer..and I will  '>
Thanks,
doug
PS,,would'nt mind seeing your restoration anyway.

Doug,
Hopefully this picture will post. I have a spindle bracket coming for this machine and I'll see if it is different than the other. I was lucky and picked up an entire ratcheting mechanism and ammo belt for the machine. I had been thinking of making a gun cabinet out of it. . .

Lulu,
Thanks for the pic. From your picyure I can see that the upper left mounting hole for the spindle bracket is showing and accessible. You should not have the same problem I ran into. It does appear that the shroud on yours is shorter perhaps. Looks alittle uneven at the bottom as if it had been cut or maybe one refabricated at some time. Will keep trying to find the answer...if there is one.

Mystery solved!! I got the other bracket today and it is different. It's factory and hasn't been notched out.

LuAnn,
That bracket is notched similar as I had to do mine. Only I did not cut mounting corner off. Guess I did the right thing. Was really only thing I could do to fit. I have come to the conclusion that, for some reason, some of the later C-51's used or were refitted with a larger coil and they modified the bracket to accommodate it. I suspect that it may have been a parts availability issue if they had to replace the coil for one reason or another. With the later C-51's they maybe no longer had exact replacement coils and used the closest fit available and modified the bracket. I think I'm wearing this issue out, but think will be good information for others here. Will update if I learn further.
Thanks.
