    PROGRESS ON NEV'S 1910 fIAT LSR REPLICA

    Neville now has the power train completed. It is mounted on a sub-frame as a module that will drop into the heavy 1920's chassis he is preparing. His 16litre fabricated engine starts easily and runs well. It drives through a Spicer twin plate clutch to a reversed hub reduction unit from an Albion rear axle. This gives a 3:1 overdrive and greatly reduces the torque load on the transmission.. Nev is planning for 60 mph @ 1000 rpm on 6.00 x 24 tyres. Next in line is a 5 speed transmission from an unknown Jap truck driving into a 1939 Ford rear axle which is solid mounted to the module. This axle will chain drive a fabricated axle sprung on the chassis proper.

    engineer

    Hi All

    Looking behind that feat of engineering, I can see lots of shiny steel, with very little, to no rust about ! A true workshop !

    There is plenty of rusty steel there, Arthur. I reckon just selling all the scrap would make him a wealthy man.

    Next update will probably look a lot smarter. Yesterday he started dismantling the power train module to seal up a few oil leaks in preparation for painting and detailing.

    I was really only referring to the loose bits of steel scrap laying around, not the collectables.

    I am most impressed by the GIANT tapered roller bearing on the back wall.
    A display by Timken perhaps?
