FRAME MOD HELP

[chainmaker]

I am looking to swap out the down tube of My Panther ( viewtopic.php?f=54&t=38477 ) For a down tube from a womans frame. I need to gain some real estate to squeeze in a 5hp briggs with elec start and stator. My qustion is, which womans frame would offer Me the most space ?

Thanks for any Help

Not sure what difference the downtube would make as that bar was the same on the boy and girl models. http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1951 ... 52_04.html

You may need to modify the frame to your liking. This thread has some great examples.
