Melex Body and Brake questions
Hi all! Last season I put a 1979 2 stroke EzGo back on the road. I learned a lot of stuff from that and found the joys of some 1 off issues to these earlier carts.
That leads me to today, I just rescued a early Melex Model 212 S/N: 153354 (So early 1980s or late 70s?). It moves under it's own power but is rusted bad.
My first question is the unique braking system on the early Melex. The only brake on this cart is directly off the electric motor. This seams to be weak on mine at the moment. Also parts and info on the system are nearly impossible to locate. Any info on this would be great.
Ok the really big question is the rusty body and inner battery support that does not exist. Any clues or hints on how to take apart the body. Also in the int rest of saving money/ manhours is there any ezgo bodies I can make fit? Or does anyone out there have old Melex body panels, I could buy from you?
Thanks for the help,
Scott
