So there are castings and patterns out there somewhere.
Someone must Know !!!

Well here's a 10 stud Ulster that I've nearly finished. Charles

Very much so. Expensive, but good. Pity that Maho accessories are rarer than rocking horse stuff.
You couldn't do this if you had a Bridgeport in your shed.

Note the axle looks more bowed than a standard sports axle. Curious about the crank. Is it a Phoenix? It doesn't seem to indicate.

It has a Don Rawson built 3 bearing engine. 

So probably Reliant crank and rods, Hillman oil pump, Austin crankcase and Austin cylinder block.

I have a Nippy Pressure fed Nosepeice from him, I could not afford a crankcase at the time.
Hi Folks,
Its a Don Rawson.

Tony has castings for sale un-machined. IIRC they are the stock from Quarry but happy to be corrected.
