fatchap Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Seen this on FB and quite fancy making one myself, mates a mechanic so his skip should have all the parts I need, obviously not the same air filter, but I'm sure he has one somewhere Question is how do you reckon he has locked off the piston? hope he hasn't welded it, no kit for ally welding or has he extended the arm through the top? I know a few petrol heads that wouldn't mind one of those as xmas prezzie from thier other half. Also the base/cog what part of engine/gearbox is it from?
