The mechanicals of the engine are made up entirely of discarded parts from other engines (an experiment in frugality)  - I always expect imminent disaster!

The head was cracked 11 years ago when I first fitted it...

Someone has to ask about the stick...
Petrol gauge perhaps?

I have one too - works perfectly on 6v or 12v

Is the rear n/s engine mounting bolt missing for a reason?

It happens, I guess. I thought at first you were emulating the "strip out all the unnecessary weight" ethos of the EV... or perhaps allowing for chassis flex. Big Grin

Ah. That was meant for rekkers.

Perhaps I shall put the engine bay of my chummy up and people can advise what i'm missing.

With respect to the stick. Is that not a universal fitment? The RP has a childs cricket wicket. The chummy a bit of dowl. The RL only requires an eyeball

Export fan for the long, hot dry spells you get there?

pleased to see the anniversary gold rosettes are surviving. We were privileged to drive this in Guildtown, I was secretly appalled at the sounds of wear and tear Wink
