In front of the two pulleys or at the other end? It was one piece with the flywheel/clutch assembly, so I may have cut it off. please indicate what you are referring to.

Flat32 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The end opposite the flywheel. Included the timing gear and the two crank pulleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably cut that off when I removed it from the supports. what are the dimensions, I'll make another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat32 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My mistake. The front end is there. What I thought was front is actually the rear and you cut the flywheel off at the rear main. So focused on the carb and clutch I didn't even look at the other end of the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Purchased a Model B engine (Ford 32, 4 cyl.) for a display project. It looks a lot more like a Model A than a model B (Oil tube and no fuel pump). So I began to modify it to represent the B.

landman Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Early on, it had been decided that there would be some engines on display in the shop. The first trio was the company's namesake, a flathead, a V8 and a flat 12. The boss asked the boys to prepare another one in the same manner, this time a Ford Model B, a Jeep Dauntless V6 and a Porsche 356 Carrera 1500GS.

Glad you enjoyed it Brent. It sort of took a life of its own after a while. i was afraid that once you build this it becomes static and then what next? But it seems to carry on.

landman Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) FTB has received a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. This is a resin copy of the Airfix Mosquito's with a home made supercharger cast from the Trumpeter Spitfire's. Wrong supercharger for the Mosquito, but the only one I had.
