Free crankcase
« on: 22.09. 2023 12:11 »
I have just bought a wheel hub off eBay. I asked the seller if he had any more A10 bits. He has half a crankcase that he is throwing away. Can anyone make use of it?

Where is it John? On the moon or where?
My bike has had factory replacement cases (it had a life as a Grasstrack racer before I got it) and has no engine number -which back in the day, the retailer was supposed to stamp with the same number as the broken original. But this set was probably filched out of the factory - hence no number. I've often thought it would be nice to have an 'actual' engine number for my bike.

He is in Rayleigh in Essex I suspect he will post it. It does seem a shame to have crankcase melted down as they will not make any more. His eBay name is victorgb if you wanted to look him up I have no direct contact.

I have a mismatched set which I don't need, I'll post the casing numbers (its too cold to go to the shed just now).  You never know we may find the matching cases.
