AF16E swap questions

Post by Julianachos »

After a good while, I've finally got a hold of an AF16E for my Spree along with a regulator, starter relay, and CDI. I'm just missing a harness (along with ignition coil) and the dual throttle cable.

What I want to know is how many people have rigged up their factory Spree harness to use the Elite bits? Or is it just better to just get a 94-01 Elite harness and just go from there? And am I able to re-use the AF05 ignition coil onto the AF16?

Is there anything else I should know about or look out for as I do this swap?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know the thread pitch for the wheel nut?

Use the stator from the spree. There is a write up on how to mod a 87 elite s motor mount done by trafficjam and order the longest aftermarket shock you can find for an elite. Other than that its pretty easy. Drill a hole thru the frame and stick a bolt thru it and tack weld. Look at my spree build

I got all of that figured out now. The only issue is the wheel nut, really.
