Build journals / "The Rat" finished. 1928 BAC Special
« on: 20 Oct 25, 09:13 pm »
Mainly finished, Engine tweaks and first test drive to do, the dummy V Twin came together after sourcing two Villiers piston pots and heads although not a perfect match but close, they were all rusted and alloy heads anodised, a sand blast brought them back to looking almost new.
It's now cross fingers for the test drive

Hi Pred
Love those Shelsley special type hill climbers - your builds looking great.
I too decided to build another kart based on Nigel Davenport's Spider.
I'm say 30% through the build but my first job was to build the V twin engine.
I used bits of plywood : aluminium offcuts : plastic waste fittings : Asda rolling pins and yoghurt pots together with bits and pieces laying about the garage (spark pugs and leads etc. )
one or two photos attached. The barrels are ali and plywood discs with a long through bolts. (wish I'd thought of putting the engine there !! )
O Bri I love your mock up V Twin it looks so good and authentic, nice job
Bri

This is my second Build, a Cyclekart of this design has been done in the US by Kelly Wood and to me looked really interesting, so I'm having a go. It's going to be cooked balls or wear a cricketers box lol
What front springs have you used Pred ?
Hi Tim, got a pair from an old trailer cut them down to size, cost me £20

Tomorrow I will be running round a karting track, with a drilled out jet and another 3 in hand of different bores, will report outcome and I do hope I will find a sweet running one.
Thanks for the above replies
