    We want to know what engine this is Alan. Study the pic carefully & you will see that the 2 top cylinder bores are dummies making it look more beefy.

    Its a flat twin engine which is mated to a gearbox which has brake discs on each side like you have on a crawler

    Did the 2-CV ever have disc brakes, can only ever remember seeing them with drums?

    Don’t forget the Cushman vehicles used a two cylinder air cooled flat twin as well. It is sometimes called the OMC engine and normally has a distributor sticking out of the top with the points in- much better than trying to get the flywheel off!
