Barrels

I am after a standard pair of knackered barrels. Doesn't matter if KR-1 or KR-1S. Prefer barrels that are beyond repair as

a) I don't want to pay anything other than postage
b) I want to cut them in half

I've got one that you can have Mark, I can't remember which side

but it's yours if you want it. I'll dig it out later, it is all there but heavily scored.

Mike

Thanks, PM me a paypal account and I will shift some money over to cover postage.

'Tis a secret at the moment but a few things fell into place in the last few weeks hopefully all will be revealed end of March or there abouts

are we allowed a guess as to what you up to mark

just been on the rgv engine thread looks like the toys may come out of the rgv pram shortly

No harm in guessing - should be quite amusing. Though I am keeping quiet

We will see how the RGV develops - it is a bit of fun on the side to fill the gaps in the KR development. It will be interesting to see what I can get out of the RGV. Some nice things on the motor but overall I prefer the KR - much easier to work on. Split Andy B's motor the other day can't have taken more than 20minutes.

Got it - oval pistons - h***a claimed them to be the future at one point !! $\:D/$ =D>

What's the prize ?

Ok, I finally got round to digging the barrel out and sending it to Mark. Just to let you know it was a right hand one (as you are sitting on the bike) so I guess Mark is still looking for a left hand side one.
I'm also intrigued as to what he is going to do with it!

i thought that for about 10 seconds till i realised that they ran two rods on the oval piston (too much work i think)
my guess is that its about researching into port floor and ceiling angles for maximum scavenging effect [-o< ( although mark probably has already done this years ago ) cant think of much else at the moment.

the prize is you get to have your engine cut in half just like marks $\:D/$
