Full circle webs from Taffspeed, rod from MB, crank pin made from a Jack Knight Mini idler gear pin, rod shims are from Mini idler gear, I made the web packers.
Just had a look at LTH site. f@@k me that would have saved a lot of work if they had done it 15 years ago!!

I've got Tassinari V-Force in everything I have reed valved.
Reeds are just like tyres and two stroke oil though...ask 5 different people and get 6 answers.

Parts here from LTH ! Now I need to decide what crank 57 or 60 . Can a head be machined for me if the piston is say a mm proud of the top of the cylinder ? Sean ?
If so it looks like a 60mm bell crank ! If not then its some configuration of 57mm !

Looks like your right ! But its ok I can get a pin 20mm x 49mm and theres a conrod 115mm long for a 20mm pin and 18mm small end in Worbs shop !
So all is good ! 8-)Nobody seams to sell the wide spacers for a 20mm pin though but I can make them myself out of bronze !
