These are details of the Trials comet flywheels you may remember this project with history from the works and Lawton and Wilson ("Support the sort who support the sport") and has the chain drive timing side and alloy oil chamber cap and many other interesting bits. The cases are now back together Bananaman says it was easy to time as only one key way symmetrically cut so pull the rod up, and with the cam key up slide on cam & half time sprocket together.
I also have added some 'before' pictures and somewhere I have a scan of the complete machine from a photo reproduced on a front cover of a 'white' MPH. The intention is to rebuild it as it was
I am sure Banana man will elaborate but questions and observations here are:
DRIVE SIDE HOLES PLUGGED, CRANK PIN THREADED PORTION BIGGER & NUT AND SET IN 5/16” DEEP, STANDARD ASSEMBLY IS ONLY 3/16” DEEP & 1/8” SMALLER THREAD DIAMETER
also
TIMING SIDE THE SAME,,,, DID THEY HAVE ALAN SCREWS BACK IN 1953 ? AS MOST GRUBS ARE MADE FROM STUD BAR THEN HACKSAWED WITH SLOP TO FIT. FLYWHEELS ARE ALSO WIDER (THICKER) AND MAIN SHAFTS HAVE BEEN WELDED
