Dummy Engine

Before we can chop, strech & rake the frame to suit our taste we have to get couple of things done. Two of the most important of them are getting a frame jig which Loonie #1 is working on and finding a dummy engine which is now sorted out.

Our dummy engine is from dismantled Li 150 Special which has spent considerable time rottening outside. It consists of main engine casing, rear drum and siezed top end but it will serve our purpose to demonstrate what measurements the actual powerplant will have.



After little playing with welder and angle grinder we got the engine to stage where it was possibly to bolt it to our frame. Rear brake drum was so seized to brake shoes that we could remove layshaft and the drum was still stuck in it's place. That's not a problem because we now have a solid base to start building on.
