Large Case Right Hand Shift Conversion

Knew this was possible - never saw it done. First time seeing it implemented:

I had always known it was possible. I would think the shaft had to be extended to exit to the right and that the shaft bore had to picked up from the left centercase to be in the correct axial position. Or is that a former works bike for an older rider from the 60's?

Yeah I saw this bike on Ebay and was interested in the fact that somebody actually did this. Having owned a few Huskys from this era I knew of the option to do this conversion but never saw it done.

Theres a stub shaft on the left side that can be moved to the right side but its a bit to long so it would need to be shortened a few millimeters. I wonder what they used to secure the hole remaining in the left case. Certainly wouldn't want to loose gear oil suddenly.

The brake lever is another thing that interested me. The earlier style left-sided brake pedal and hardware looks to be close enough to work well, with some minor modification.

It looks like a stub was left on the left of the shift mechanism to use the seal to block oil leakage.
