ADL Mark Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Has anybody in the southeast area got a scrap engine they're willing to let me have for very little or nothing? I only want the crank, rods and pistons and would prefer that at least something there is knackered (i.e. spun bearings or overly worn bores etc. ) as long as the main parts don't look broken. For a little project at home to make something arty Can collect if anybody has something going, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 I did contemplate PM'ing him but Shropshire is a fair old way from the South East, especially as I'm right down on the coast in East Sussex.. Would cost me a fortune in fuel before I've even started and I was hoping for a cheap project to while away some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've got a spare engine (no head but block, crank, rods, pistons, etc all there) that I could do with getting rid of cos I need the space. £50 buyer collects. It's at PO8 if you want to judge how far away we're talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 You can get a rear F1 wheel on eBay every now and again for a touch over £100, I always thought that with a round glass circle would make a nice table too.. Don't want to push my luck though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've got some pistons and rods I don't need that you're welcome to. Haven't got a crank though as I'm reusing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADL Mark Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yeh that is a bit bland, just a tyre and glass, doesn't even look like a decent F1 tyre. You'd want at least a modern looking slick with the chunky sidewalls. I reckon a wheel would be a much better punt. Simon, cheers I will bear that in mind especially if someone has a scrap crank that I can have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at PO8 if you want to judge how far away we're talking. jake clear your PM's mate Cheers Jake, will have a look on multimap and let you know Mark i'm interested in Jake's TT block. I have a NA block and don't strictly need jakes crank/piston rods etc (although i'd rather keep these as spares and give you na pistons ) I work close to Jake and could probably come someway towards you (Crawley/horsham/haywards heath?) at the weekend if you're up for it?

ADL Mark Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Scooter, that's cool. If Jakes parts are useful to somebody then they're better off being used for that as obviously I'm just wanting them as ornaments. Makes no difference to me if they're TT or NA bits Would definitely be up for that at the weekend though, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
