Seven Special

I like the MNR type scuttle. Just shows that there really is nothing new.

Love the 2 bearing crank

Nice a "proper" special. Good job I don''t have the room or cash!

Peteff - 6/8/10 at 06:45 PM

I wouldn't fancy the job of putting it all back together, even the carbs are in bits

Wonder if the wing stays break as often as a Locost? The guy who rebuilt the engine Ray Walker has been dead for best part of 20 years

Make a nice runabout with a R1 or Zetec conversion.

Nice, but I don't understand why if the engine was rebuilt, how come it's in a million pieces??

I used to have an old 7, but not as modified as that one. (Dear God!!! More than half century ago). Alas, it had to go, as the storage space was needed.

Time to stop dreaming - back to sorting out the "modern" version, when I get my starter.

BTW - 2 bearing crank was preferred to 3 bearing version, by those who tuned this little motor. Because of design mod, middle bearing was mounted in a cast-in housing. Unfortunately, due to crankshaft whip, at higher revs, this housing tended to suffer, resulting in further bearing/cshaft damage.

ripe for a fireblade or V8 conversion!!
