SOHC Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Seat is all mounted with new brackets at the front, spent most of the day on the front wheel, I had to grind down all the spoke niplels and give the spoke holes in the rim a little grind as that rim is drilled for another hub, i highly recommend using the correctly drilled rim unless you want to waste time. When lockdown finishes i amm off to the brittish bike parts library where i can exchange stuff for more parts 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Split the crank on the engine I am going to use because the big end felt rough, no wear at all but lots of moisture damage, in my experience they don't last long at all if you try to run them like this, so I had a back up crank pin I could use but under close inspection it has had some kind of failure like it was too soft or something. I give up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was from a 2 wheel drive sidecar outfit that would carry alot of stuff and a brengun, nz army only had 3 of them, they have an odd frame for the rear axel witch would be impossible to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own sequence is cardboard - MDF - alloy. Yes I have some alloy Domi engines plates i will copy the rear half and get the holes marked for the frame witch will make it even easier, engine bottom crankcase though bolts line up perfectly with the frame holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted December 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 I forgot i had that front guard and I found a rear, also found another frame that has had one of the rear engine mounting lugs hacked out to fit some other engine that may be better to use as I may need to do that anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOHC Posted Thursday at 20:35 Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 20:35 Had to cut the rear lower engine mounting lug and move it up, and cut the front lugs down. All the frame mods to fit the big4 engine are done, just need to make the engine and gearbox plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
