The Place

A mate of mine has bought 2 V twin Weslake engines, does anyone know of anybody with a manual for them please?

To put in an outfit? Only ever seen one in a road race machine and that is / was owned by a Dutch (I think) pairing called Sam and Kobus (sorry dont know surnames) and now ridden by their wives / partners. Remember seeing a few in grass track racing back in the late eighties / early nineties before the onslaught of the Jap fours.

No, not for an outfit I'm afraid, he's sticking it in 2 wheels.

Oh well never mind. Should be an interesting bike though. Putting it in a featherbed type frame?

I bet I know where those two motors came from as well Ian !!!

I know their history from about 1981

Two VERY nice motors indeed

Sorry No manuals though

Got Badger stamped all over them Rob :lachtot: :lachtot:

Yep ..... Were used by Badger Bell in Midlands area??? from memory then the were bought by an old racing friend down here Ian Rohan (used to do all Phil Collins promotional stuff) He passengered a British sidecar contender called Fred Pittock and by Christ did they get a bollock session with him on the bars !!! Good proper pukka racer.....
They were rebuilt by my old Sidecar grasstrack passenger who owns HM Racing in Orpington http://www.hmracing.co.uk/default.asp

They were put in a cupboard under the stairs and sat indoors for years..... Ian who owned them now lives in Spain....

They won quiet a few national grass meetings...

Rob, what you say there is exactly as was told to my mate when he bought them, yep, rebuilt by HM.
