Evening all, new to the forum, arrived here via a search for S50 drawings after a recent ebay purchase of an incomplete S50 circa 1950's. I have downloaded and read Tubal Cain's notes from the link kindly given above by Len. Very helpful and detailed, thanks to all involved.

Although I am pretty confident with the imperial measurements and the notes cover much of the dimensions, the engine did not come with any drawings. Would it be possible for someone to message me regarding getting these, imperial or metric.

Many thanks again

Hi Guys,

For those less computer literate and want to read more of the S50 build write up, substitute 2,3,4 etc etc for the "1" just prior to the .pdf in the link.

Hi Julian,

If you approach Stuart with your problem they will be sympathetic. I had a similar problem, contacted Stuart and they sent a copy of the drawings by post at no charge. Excellent service.

Best regards

Interesting, the 10V came with 'bilingual' drawings for the imperially challenged.

I keep a calculator to hand in the workshop, so if there's a fraction I don't know in my head I just do 32/64=0.500"

Convert to metric is just 32/64*25.4=12.7mm

Is that really all that hard to do?

Hi guys,

Does anyone have a set of metric Stuart S50 diagrams they can send me? Youngest son is keen to give engineering a go and I fear dealing with imperial measurements for his first serious encounter will put him off for life!

Thanks,

Norman
