Crafted from high-quality materials, this case features a serial number pad measuring approximately 5\/16 inch wide and 2-1\/4 inches long, with a distinct line between the pad and the case on models from 1936-42. The case includes a steel bearing insert cast-in, ensuring robust support for engine components. Machined to fit OEM right side cases, it ensures precise alignment and compatibility with original parts, making it suitable for professional engine assembly and customization. The case set requires line lapping of the main case races and may need additional machining before installation, especially around the flywheel fit and mounting surfaces. It is recommended to use with specific accessory items like the #10-1758 Knucklehead Right Side Engine Case and #60-0258 Motorshop Case Matching Machine Service to achieve optimal fit and performance. Notably, the cylinder deck height and motor mount surfaces are approximately 1\/16 inch taller than standard cases, and the case features a blank boss for serial number placement. The design accommodates the short rib configuration used from 1936 to mid-1941, with the later high rib design introduced in 1941 through 1947 for added strength, especially for 74 cubic inch engines. Installation requires experience as areas must be machined separately, and it is not a bolt-on component. The case pairs well with additional accessory items and requires careful measurement and fitting for proper operation. Overall, this case offers a high-quality, historically accurate component for restoring or customizing vintage Harley Davidson engines, ensuring durability and compatibility with original and aftermarket parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSerial number pad: 5\/16 inch wide and 2-1\/4 inch long, with line between pad and case on 1936-42 models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSteel bearing insert cast-in for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMachined to fit OEM right side case with precise alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRequires line lapping of main case races and additional machining before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with specific accessory items for optimal fit\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAccommodates the short rib case (1936-mid 1941) and high rib case (1941-1947) for added strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Harley Davidson FL models from 1941 to 1947\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1941\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1942\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1943\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1944\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1945\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1946\u003cbr\u003e\nHarley Davidson FL 1947\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"V-Twin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44652767084586,"sku":"49-0946","price":707.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/49-0946a.jpg?v=1785878381","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/v-twin-1941-1947-knucklehead-left-engine-case-unmachined-for-harley-davidson-fl-models","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
