Re: exotic cylinder conversion mystery ?

thanks for those suggestions, i cant say if it was water or air cooled, its just a bare engine case, not even a mag flange, im sure someone must have seen it before, or worked on it at some point.

Re: exotic cylinder conversion mystery ?

hi chez,
yes can see the pics, the transfers are a bit smaller than mine, the studs on yours are standard lammy position, all 4 of my studs are a bigger distance appart, and symetrical,i am still guessing at which cylinder has been used, its not a bultaco, i dont think its kx either. :cry:
