I would like to thank you Bob for posting all these wonderful cyclecars that I would otherwise never know existed.

I had to look that one up and found this on the engine but that was all; couldn't find it onthe Roach site. What a cool build!!

Lived in Hooton, Wirral for a while. I knew there was an old aerodrome there but never knew that there were Aviation factories;

 

BTW - the aerodrome and field was bought by General Motors and they now produce the Vauxhall/Opel Astra there.

With text it is sometimes hard to know just what some posts mean.Do you know what I mean?

 

A buddy of mine recently bought this old indian 741 engine at an estate sale. It has a unique bellhousing mounted to it. we were thinking it may have been in a cyclecar or a tq midget. the adapter plate looks to be factory made, anybody ever seen one like it?

 

I don't know what it was used for.Sure is cool stuff though.The future possibilities are endless.i don't know the dimensions of the bolt pattern on the bell housing.Looks like a little three speed transmission from a Crosley might fit very well. The sure thing I can say is that I 'm very envious!

 

Are you sure that it is a 741, and not an 841? If i remember correctly, the 841 was a shaft drive 750cc (copied from the BMW) and 1000 were made, as compared to the more common (and anemic) 500cc 741 Long ago I had all the pieces for one, and let it slip away, so I dont remember what the clutch housing looked like anymore, and didn't have a camera back then.

Also, if it is for any kind of a motorcycle, why does it have cooling fins on the flywheel? curiouser and curiouser-----

Yes we are sure its a 741. around 500cc, indian made lots of these during wwII. the flywheel fan is the curious part-my thinking is that it came off an air-cooled car which had a shroud around it similar to a VW.
