Correction, they both are 87' 230E's. The 10th digit on serial num. is a h. I managed to find an nos battery retainer for $55 on eBay last night. Next is a complete bearing job.
I can't find anybody who makes an exhaust for the 87' LT230E. DG makes exhaust for 88' & up. Does anybody know who can make me an exhaust header or anything really.
