Early '50s Bonneville Streamliner

If you dry sump the motor it will fit lower in the body... -
I made a tap/thread chaser from one of the long screws, soft soldered to a piece of brass tubing, with three slots cut longitudinally. I wish I could have found a tap! Buy the tap. it saves lots of grief, the screws are nickel plated which embrittles the brass and makes the screws easy to shear.

Yes, I have an Emco compact 8 lathe and a Sieg SX2P mill - with mods to make it usable.... -
Tim Birkin's single seat blower Bentley as raced at Brooklands in 1932. Starting point was an Airfix Bentley but there isn't much left of it. Made from styrene, aluminum, brass, fishing line and a few 3d prints (the dampers).
