Re: Wanted: large 40-50% Cub style wheels

Have a look here. The MOQ is too high for your usage but they do say they do samples at a higher pricing. Worth the time to send a msg to them at least. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Pneumatic-Inflatable-Full-Air-Rubber-Wheel_62499694378.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title....

Re: Milling Machine

I think it was Frank Whittle's autobiography that gave a good description of what RAF apprentices had to be able to do with a file in the 1930's And as an apprentice RNZAF mechanic in 1980, we made a machine vise by filing all components from block steel. Side H frames, front and rearclamping plates...

Re: Zenoah 62 twin

Hi David, as i said in line with Tinus' idea, i had the cranks shortened by 10mm each, so a closing together of 20mm. Threads, tapers and keyways were all re-positioned, just further back. A pair of solid joiners are used, fitted as standard onto the crank taper and woodruff key. The joiner is count...

Re: Zenoah 62 twin

I managed to follow the tutorial on reducing photos! Hopefully you can see the way i have gone about things from these pics. The machining to date was done by the Griffiths' to my back of envelope designs! The engine is totally cowled in hence the foward facing carb. Cooling admittedly will be a maj...

Re: Zenoah 62 twin

And there's one in the Philippines as well!!!! Cant upload pics as even my downsized ones are too big it says. Tinus, in line with your thoughts, i had my cranks shortened by 10mm per crank which gives a much more compact end result. I got over the crankcase to crankcase joining problem by using a s...

Re: Plan Enlargement?

And of course do the age old trick of reference markings. In blank areas of the plan, get a 90 deg set square and draw a right angle corner. Working from the apex, measure off a set dimension, say 100mm up each leg and make a mark. Do this in a few places say 3-4 per sheet. After you have had the pl...

Phil and Karl, you would be very surprised what you can get "off the shelf" in French supermarkets. As with most supermarkets there is a DIY section, but the French seem to have a penchant for a chemicals section as well. Ammonia, acetone, cellulose thinners, hydrogen peroxide (MEKP), dena...

Re: Walbro Carb repair

Hi Peter, Walbro stake the back of the screw by machine at the factory to prevent loosening. No manual mentions removal, so marketing intend it to be a throw away and replace with new item. Tinkerers though, like to dismantle things and often remove this screw for various reasons, plate modification...
