. Whats more a 30cc Flat Four Twin Cam is a bit more sexy.
Bruce - the bearings are coming from Bearings Direct in the UK. Unfortunately, NZ suppliers seem to be overly expensive and although Aliexpress are cheap their delivery timing can be a bit hit and miss. I may be taking it to the club night on Wednesday.
On the bearings I'll admit to a bit of laziness. The bearing specs in the ME article for the Bobcat have an error so I went back to Bearings Direct to check what I had ordered last time. As I was there it was too easy to just re-order.

Following along Pete. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime. Where are you getting your bearings from? I source bearings from NZ Miniature Bearings if I am not wanting to wait for them to come from Aliexpress sellersCheersBruce
