Looking very smart, an eye catching machine that I am sure will attract plenty of attention where ever it goes. A job well done.

That’s an amazing job you have done. I remember from the old forum the work you did on the tracks.
Did you ever find what the part was that you showed at the start of this thread?
Do you ever exhibit at any shows up North?

[vhgmcbuddy]

I did indeed ! It was an adjuster on the throttle cable similar to the brake adjuster on a bicycle !!

So, got a new crank shaft from Neil , along with new big end shells , roller bearings , seals and gaskets. Had to resize the conrod. Then the web on the crank would not fit into the crankcase. Got it in , and it was hitting off something inside ! Too big for my lathe so a mate took it down on his.
So here’s what it looks like tonight ….

Ahh, bloody nightmare that! Just finished rebuilding my mg5 and mg6 engines, crank reground ect.

Hope this doesn’t happen to me! Must be rare though, not sure how it would cause it?
