[QUOTE="Dinny, post: 46613, member: 2178"] I remember my father rebuilding a B bottom end for a friend, you have never seen crankcases so rough but it all worked out in the end. My brampton's were re tubed as they had snapped at some point in Argentina and had plates welded on the outside, when the plates were ground off the bottom castings completely separated.. Ray Daniels was mr fix it for those. To be honest the more bent and broken the greater the challenge but also the greater the satisfaction when it's finished. Some people will never believe the before and after photos, I also never ever throw anything away. Both myself and my brother are second generation vin owners and trust me, it's an addiction and I'm currently only 40 so a youngster in the Vin world, but been around them for about 20 years. Still a Norton man though so like to keep my Norton's and Vin's separate, don't need any Norvin's at the mo, well that's what the wife says! Buy it, build it, ride it... Mark [/QUOTE]
