    need help, restoring a '73 Honda ATC 70

    I've pimped out a '82 full suspension 70 and installed a 125m into a 70 complete with starter but I haven't restored one back to stock. Well today I bought a 1973 atc 70. I couldn't think of a better year to restore. My other 70's were easy compared to this one. I need help doing some research on this one. If anyone can point me in the right direction with specs, pictures, manuals, reproduction decals and stickers or anythnig else that you think might help. I want to go all the way with this one. I want to know what each nut and bolt are coated with, zinc, stainless, cad plated. I would greatly appreciate anyones help. Thank you, Jon

    Do those '84 125m motors just bolt up to an atc70? I they do,that may be my next project 8) .

    www.vintagemotorsports.net will do a complete resto for you, but will probably cost alot of money, sometimes 73s show up on ebay, keep an eye there. if i was you id probably get rid of it and get a 78' and up model.

    you have to modify the lower mounting hole and weld on a bracket for the head mount to bolt up to

    thanks for the link to vintage motor sports. I found that site last week. I plan on doing this restore myself. I like the '73 because it was the first year of the 70. I will be buying some parts from them.
