There it is, the cam is in and ready to cover with all the necessary gears aligned. The lifter tappets were also honed in and fitted perfectly into the lifter blocks. The lifter blocks on the Panhead are the same as a Shovelhead, but the case i had was for a Knucklehead. The screw holes were in different places, so i had to re-drill a couple. The geometry is the same on the case at the blocks, so the cam and lifters will line up perfectly. By the way, i checked on this first, thanks to the guys at the Flathead Power website forum, they re-assured me that this would work for the panhead/knuckle switcharoo.

The next step for me was to come up with the moving fender. Notice the strut (black)coming down to the axle spacer, and the other one onto the brake drum. This holds the fender up and lets it travel with the wheel.

This is the fender pivot arms i made with round stock and flattened the ends to let them swivel and hold the fender from moving side to side. I used lock nuts so as to be able to set the tension on the swivel. The arm connects to the fender strut and then connects to the back (original) old fork tabs that held the old Harley fender on. Nothing was cut or changed on this springer to make this work. This way i can have a low fender and no rubbing the tire...
