Default Floorboard help needed!

I just bought a '79 Super Glide. It has been made over (converted back to?) an Electra Glide (wide glide front end, headlight, and tin). I'd like to put floorboards on it, but need to know what brackets I need for this. Any help would be most appreciated.

I pick it up tomorrow. Right now it has forward controls (sort of), with the shifter and brake both in rather awkward positions.

The left side rear bracketis part of the primary cover, IIRC. The Super Glide had a different cover. I think the right side rear bracket was a tab on the frame.

Yeah, I have a FLH style primary cover with the lug to mount the floorboard. What I'm needing is to get some brackets for mounting the front of the floorboards and some way to mount the right side a the rear. Maybe fab up a bracket.

Thanks,

Kent
