Engine mount bar

I'm hoping to fit a gp engine in a LD frame. To make things easier i'm trying to source the frame tube that holds the cones. Does anyone know where these can be purchased or is there an alternative way of mounting the engine.

Thanks

Mick

It's not listed as a separate part in the parts manual so presume you'd need to go with Ric's recommendation.
In the North West I'd try Frank Sanderson at Lambretta Innovations, he's put auto engines into LDs and maybe later Lambretta engines too.

could try dean (wintermodel) ,twinpeeks ,tonydevon .. or just any local engineering firm local to you ..just measure the lenght ,diameter and wall thickness at the center and take a cone allong to match the angle up with
