I think that particular Alfa could be a PurSang from Argentina but the only blue one of theirs I have seen had full fenders and this looks to be...
Where did henryj1951 go? Looks like he deleted his posts on this thread and he isn't answering my PMs! So, I guess, paintslinger805, if you want...
OK $4.00 shipping in a padded envelope should cover it. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I happened into a small supply of Rajah thrust type plug wire terminals. I think they are NOS - discussed here:...
Thanks Denis4x4 for the link. So, anybody NEED these for your car or motorcycle or even your tiller or mower? In fact, now that I think of it, I...
Do you have that link? I can't seem to find it in a search. Maybe they can tell me if these are NOS or newer manufacture.
That's a start. Let's give it a week, say the end of Saturday the 17th and see what we can do. Is there a moderator whom can tell us how to make a...
I guess if the trend of the spark plug makers is to go to permanent tips, these or the cap style may be the best bet for vintage connectors. They...

These clip right onto the little silver nipple which are screwed onto the tip of the spark plug. I am thinking they will also clip onto the new...
Yep, the new ones have shaved sides to the clip part as shown in the catalog picture above but these ones are round. I see that some of them at...
They measure out a little over 7mm. Like 7.17mm. I have 100 of them, some with "RAJAH" stamped on the metal and some with "RAJAH THRUST" as shown...
I see there are a few retailers for the Rajah spark plug terminals. Do these new terminals have the Rajah name and Bloomfield NJ U.S.A. molded...
Hisso engine in the next Bonhams auction....
Might take a look at a vintage mail jeep. I think they were derived from Austins when Jeep first started making them during the war. Plus, if you...
I am thinking that the cam/inlet rocker/exhaust design was also used on Bristol engines which IIRC were more or less a prewar BMW design. Alfa...
That Rolland Pilain has me wondering: Has anybody here had success detuning a modern four cylinder motorcycle engine? Seems like a natural choice...
My springs came today. They look pretty good although I was a bit surprised that the ends don't have alternate fittings at either end, meaning, in...
Saw this on The Old Motor site. Pretty much the same formula for today's cyclekarts save putting the motor up front rather than in back as is the...
So who built the Baby Vanderbilt cars? They all look to have the exact same chassis.
Looking forward to seeing more of your build. I ordered some more parts for the cyclekart build and thought the buggy seat springs from here:...
Speaking of engines, saw this Gilera sidevalve on EBay and have gone back and forth on it but have decided it is not for me. Item 300801580342...
Looks to be a Henderson motor. I am curious about the number on the green tag too! Super cool!
And here are my CR80 wheels with tires fit. The rims have a bead locking block just about opposite the valve stem so there is another hole in the...
I agree that much of maintaining an automotive museum is to keep the displays in proper operational condition and that means, IMO, occasional use...
Found five of these wheels at a local salvage place and instantly thought cyclecar/cyclekart. It was obvious that the rims are simply steel 20"...
Thanks!! Spent the last 15yrs or so in English guns and am starting to get the itch for some motoring. Had some OK cars int he past, Alfa...
I saw there was some discussion about the original Jappic engine. In one photo, it looks like it is a three valve head. One inlet, two exhaust.
This Tamplin is just about right....
