Which project is this for Paul?

Thanks for the link chaps, I have spoken to the seller who said he would sell it ex-ebay, but my £500 offer was not acceptable to him.

What project? My brother is sending back the C25/C15 Bitsa that we slung together 10 years ago, I want the engine from it to go back into my C15 ( the first bike I ever owned). That will leave me with the C25 rolling chassis.

I can do a late oif 250 motor if that's any use to you.

[bossy]

Thanks! PM sent.

One persons way to fit a late unit single into an early frame.

[bossy]

Thanks for that Stan. I am collecting an Engine from Midgie tomorrow and will have a think about the frame mod. Doing it will allow me to fit any of my engines into any of my frames- that may be a life saver somewhere down the line.

HaHa, yep here's how one person converted back to an early set of cases.

Looks stronger than the original set up. Nice work as usual Stan.

That looks like a proper job Stan. You should market them, I'd be your first customer.

Sorted! Engine collected from Midgie this morning, now stripped and parts soaking in the DG tank while I get back to the decorating.

Many thanks.

Haha! The engine I offered £500 finally sold at £480, but clearly the vendor was bidding it up himself as within two hours of it ending he tells me the buyer can't complete and I can have it for £470. Greedy fool should have recognised a good offer when he got one.

[Ian Hingley]

Serves him right!
I noticed the ending price with a wry smile, never imagining he'd outbid himself! If the winner 'can't complete' why doesn't he stick to the rules and offer the 2nd highest bidder a 2nd Chance Offer? Unless that was him too.

that's a cracker paul, as is often said 'the greedy will never be satisfied' looks like the vendor shot himself through both feet!
