yoeddynz Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 I have just realised that as I typed that I'm actually wearing an almost identical top and I've got my thick rimmed glasses on. Oh dear. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Its a neat conversion eh! Many moons ago (well around 2008ish) I measured up a bmw k100 engine on a workmates bike, one of the cycle shops I had worked at in blighty. It looked perfect, I bought abmw k100 manual, I did some scribbles and worked some bits- got all excited. Then moved back to NZ and started looking for an IMP. But got stuck into building the housetruck. A scottish guy on the imp club had been following my chat about said engine and he got stuck into the conversion. Did a bloody good job too and started having a neat adaptor for the bmw engine to the imp gearbox cnc'd up. He sold quite a few on and then sold the rights to some other fella/company or something. So there's been quite a few built now. That one above is certainly one of the neater ones. If I wasn't going down the goldwing route I'd probably have just done this conversion. I'd had @AndyGal asking about engines at his old work at one point. But I'm happy to be fucking about with six cylinders now 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I love your approach to problem solving; Nothing is an issue. "doesn't quite work? To the lathe!" 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Cheers. Yeah I'd be totally fucked without a lathe or that little drill mill. I would love a larger knee mill but luckily the old Taiwan special has seen me through so far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 You are most likely all over this, I didn't see a photo of the back side of the HRB, but one thing I learnt the hard way in a retrofit of a very similar looking Saab HRB into the mx5, is that the back side of the unit needs a solid base. As the rear cover where you gain access to service the hydraulics is a crimped in disc. This will not withstand hydraulic pressure without being sandwiched so it can't move. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Well done, one of my top fave threads on the internet at the mo. I'm still tinkering with my little car swap but it's no where near as tidy or progressing as fast as this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
