there you go 2 inch differences already ...
I think the J & S were 12 1/2 from memory

It wont hurt to run the tape over the body first

So how do you determin this?.
Do you measure from the centre of the front hub to the centre of the rear hub?.

i'd measure pan length from where front goes up over tunnel to where back goes up over tunnell.

mi wheelbase is metric 2075mm but thats useless info as its a hand made frenkenstien.
