Hi Jamie, Welcome to the forum. That's a nice project you've got. These guys should be able to help with parts/info : https://johnshirtmotorcycles.com/ If you would like to PM me your direct e mail address I can send you an owners manual and parts list which should help with the rebuild.

Good luck and keep up the good work
