    Hadfield made the adaptor plate between the 350 and LT 95 that was in my POS when I bought it. Still there.

    I think I have some written instructions / kit parts list somewhere.

    Bit of poetic licence I think John, the point being a bloody big V12.

    From what I have read of it it was a RR Merlin motor, It was built in Vic & fully registered, but was then sold to the US. But then what I have trad could be incorrect also .

    Correct me if RRong, but the Allison v12 was essentially a Merlin built by Allison, using 'Merican Mass-production methods, not Pommy-Precision.... eg, any piston would fit any bore of any engine.... nor did we need to worry about keeping said pistons out of *sunlight - on the workbench - during assembley...

    But RR didn't tell the Yanks 'Everything'.... Heard about a shaft that Allison kept snapping.... think it was a supercharger drive but don't quote me on that.... Merlins used a cheap softer steel which tolerated the unusual forces..... Allison engineers specified a more modern, better alloy... Think it took them a long while to figure that one out....


    * Myth or Fact, ? story is, a piston left on the bench in sunlight for minutes,,, would distort enough to make it impossible to fit... - such was the exactitude of the piston/bore matching. And again, only in its's 'home' bore.

    Other interesting Merlin stuff can be had in this book by Len Deighton

    Fighter By Len Deighton | Used | 9780586046111 | World of Books

    Where he also debunks - with figures - the belief that a Spitfire could out-turn a Me 109. Nope, it 'would' turn tighter... because the German would not violate specifications... the usually more mature Englander regarded them as rules to be modified, like his machine's dihedral. ....
