Hi Guys,

I have a Quadra 42 in my spitfire but she has lost some grunt over the years so i want to fit a new piston ring,

I know of a place over in the states which still carry parts but does anybody know of anyone in the Uk????

Or anybody who has one they willing to part with?

Cheers

Allan

Get a Zenoah 62 it
You know it makes sense, natures way, i tell ya..........

A lot of engine will be hanging out andy also the hacking of fire wall etc, i have a fuji 50 but same issue!!

Alan

I do not know any commercial suppliers of Quadra parts in the UK. A few people like myself have some spare parts from salvaged motors but I do not have a piston ring for a 42. I suggest you go direct to Bill Bennet (probably the contact you have in the USA). I have always found him prompt and efficient but he does respond better to a phone call rather than email.

Cheers John, yes it is Bill that i have the contact for. i think i will get in touch.

Cheers

Have you tried your local purveyor of chainsaws/power equip? They may be able to match something up. A friend of mine got a ring for a Q52 from one. Most of these engines were at one time a commercial power unit.
Just a thought.

Cheers, Dave.

Yeah I will try that, cheers Dave.
