Little '36 Midget Build

The last major part to be made was the ignition timing bracket which was hacked to shape on the CNC

A few holes and a bit of filing and it was done.

Some brass hardware was turned and a steel screw to allow the clamp to be adjusted so the timing could be advanced or retarded and a couple of Corian insulators completed that assembly.

A piece of 8mm copper tube was bent to a pleasing shape and silver soldered to the previously machined flange to complete the exhaust.

In keeping with the age of the engine some slotted filester head screws were made up in M3, M2.5 plus and M2 one with an additional straight knurl for adjusting the carb slow running position. A single large but flat headed one was made to seal the oil level hole.

Not a bad collection of bits, 58 parts and 32 fixings.

Thats impressive Jason, I can see some very nice engineering there, some ingenuity also.

After a quick test run to see if everything work the engine was stripped down again and a bit of colour added, in this case Dodge Orange VHT paint and some satin black stove paint for the exhaust. I also made the stands to display it on from a couple of bits of 1/4" thick aluminium angle that were pocketed out on the CNC.

With the photos out of the way I could run a few tank fulls through it and have a play.

Another show quality model, thanks for taking the time to post all the build detail, sounds great.

That looks a treat with colour added and the pair of stands are rather eye catching, sounds sweet as well, very very nice indeed.
