As there is no spare top half crankcase available for this unit we should be pleased if you would put one in hand and make it in cast iron instead of aluminium as at present. It will be remembered that this top half crankcase was originally designed to be made in cast iron, so that no alterations will be necessary. E/PSN. | ||
