3 bearing engine - steel crankcase
#1
Hi All.  Does any one know what the three bearing, steel crankcased engine was used in please?  It is not  Reliant engine, as I have both.  I think it may have been used by the MOD as it is the correct colour that we used to use.  It has a Laystel crank.  Feedback/comments welcome.

Out of interest what is the engine number stamped in the crankcase?

Ive got a cast iron nosecone on the RP, and have cast iron water manifolds in the spares shed somewhere. Father always believed that were military.

I have a list of car numbers and chassis numbers for the late batch of military 2 seat tourers. Be interesting to see how it cross referenced with your crankcase

Could it be from a marine engine, I can't see why the military applications would need a cast-iron case?

I was led to beleive they were military engines, but it dont mean it's TRUE.

I know of a hand full of them in different hands.

Like hedd, I have a cast iron nosecone, for both 7 inch box and the long ruby. So with both nosecone available why would they be the last engines made? Or even prototypes?

Tony.

If it’s of any consequence I also had a cast iron steering box, which I used on the Chummy special, and when I asked around most people said “it must be military” but like Tony implied, it was never confirmed.
