Looking good Wayne. What's that milk crate doing in the assembly drawing?

being an Aussie Bird it should be a Beer Keg!

Now here is the 2 sections of Engine push-fitted together, they will be painted separately to get into all the tight places!

It really is a nicely produced merlin. Don't forget the tappet clearances are .0025 .........

I'm afraid to ask for specific details now Terry

Bruce, was way out....the engine Assembly from tip to tip is 70mm!!

Here is a shot of the rear section containing a small nut for screwing the whole engine assembly to the firewall.

The 2 small grey grommets are for the pushfit of either the air filter assembly, if you want it open from the bottom or rear fit of the lower cowling assembly!

Thanks for you continued interest fellas....
