Hi mad modders I have started a new project and thought I would share it. I found a book titled Motor Bicycle Building by Paul N. Hasluck. It shows you how to build a complete motor bike with 2 different engines. I am building the larger one with lots of changes to suit me. You are supposed to make castings for many of the parts. I will use weldments. If you try to buy this book be careful I bought the one with the flower on the cover and it has no drawings in it. :doh: you can get the book free off the internet. I have made quite a bit of progress on the engine and will get you caught up to where I am. Tom thank you Eric for the help. I started with the crank shaft, its made up of the 2 flywheels, crank pin, and main journals. |

Wow oh wow Tom!! This is my kinda thing. I will be watching this anxiously... now to find that book! Eric **Edit Found it! HERE |
| OKTomT:
Thanks Eric for posting that link. Here are some pictures of how the crankcase was made. This engine will be rough built to check the fit of parts then disassembled and fine tuned. Are these pictures to big? |
| sbwhart:
Great work :thumbup: The pics are a touch big. Just read the book through very good read, its got me thinking if it could be scaled down to say 1/3, I'll be watching progress with great interest. Stew |

Wow, that is a really nice crank case. Very nice. It still looks like period item. One question: Why the nuts on crank shaft? Are pins shrink fit? Does original design asks for nuts? Pekka |
