Newbie looking for engine/box build/advice
« on: 01.03. 2022 16:41 »
Hi I just joined (thanks admin)

I'm looking for recommendations regarding an engine builder who can put my A10 engine back together and also companies/people who could check through the gearbox, mag, dynamo etc.  I'm in Suffolk so preferably fairly local to east anglia area so i can go and see them.

Cheers  Paul

Hi and welcome to the forum, I am also in suffolk. I have seen him about but I am not sure if  Roger Sharman of Cake Street Classics is still doing this sort of work. he is in Laxfield. He did my A7 and although costly its was a very good job and she is still going fine some 10 years later *smile*

Hi Angus, thanks for your reply.

I know of Roger but didnt realise he did that kind of thing, I thought he just sold bsa's.. i did actually buy a petrol tank off him many years ago. Thanks I'll give him a look and see if he can help. Cheers.!

I don't know if Draganfly at Bungay does work as well as selling parts.
