The Place

Here are some photographs of the Konig sidecar outfit we are currently having built, the frame has been constructed by Rod Bellas, and we are doing the rest:

Obviously I am a bit biased but I think that looks superb, a proper racing sidecar! If you can get a Konig engine reliable, what better layout could you have?
Tim, you need to take a photo with somebody standing alongside it, to show how low and small it really is.

But not Tim..

Thought never crossed my mind Steve !!

IIRC was not the main reliabilty problem with the toothed drive belt for the rotary disc valve being somewhat fragile should a stone or other track debris be thrown into drive If so then, surely, a simple engineering solution of a protective mesh cage would solve the problem?

If not the case then ignore the ramblings of an idiot, albeit a well practised one ...

Yep, that was the main problem we had. Tony Wakefield actually ran reed valves on the 750cc Magnum.

Isn't the rubber band type arrangement that drives the water pump etc a little delicate too?

what sort of power does one of those put out ?

what class is that eligable for ?

1. About 130 BHP
2. New Era

if it puts out 130 it wont only clean up a new era it will blitz most club meetings anywhere ... i'm liking that !!

Gorgeous outfit, luv it.
