Re: exotic cylinder conversion mystery ?
Addition to above post - Should have said Adam is correct it is for a Challenger Barrel - well, it looks identical to how my crankcase mouth was.

Re: exotic cylinder conversion mystery ?
Adam is correct. I had one on my sprinter years ago, until I totalled it at Shakespeare County Raceway, commonly known as Avon Park. 99 mph seize up through the timing trap - smashed piston/scrap barrel/bent rod - skid mark on track and in underpants. You are now wiser but 'barrelless' if there is s...

Re: Shed Find (My Shed)

It was too knackered to put a die nut on of the same thread size. To avoid putting a new pin in, we filed/fettled it a bit and then put a smaller thread...

You will see 'X Race' and 'Scooter Shootout' as titles, however if you click into rules in the X Race section you will see that it relates to bikes. If you click into Scooter Shootout you will see a clas...
