1/4 scale Porsche 917 180 degree V12 Build

Hello Dave

Pleased you were able to take a few moments to look at your hobby interests. It must be hard to remember you are trying to drain the swamp when you are up to your *** in someone else's alligators.

It's good that you have been able to progress the 917's pumps a little and it would be even better if you could get the Yamaha engine into 'Rushforth' with spring and a long summer ahead. Just think, a nice cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches on the river bank or is it a burger and a Budweiser or two?

Any sign of the printed parts?

Cheers

Mike or should that by Myk.

Not trying to derail but with the current trend it seems a simple transition into electric for the mistress. Maybe a battery pack that can be removed and charged at home. A motor and controller.  Your  not trying to set a speed record so battery life might be better than expected.

"Rushforth" has been languishing far too long, and she needs to have her repower completed, and be used!!!

Glad you're making a bit of headway, sounds like you're a busy boy. So what's this "Rushforth"?

Do a forum search under Rushforth and you'll find it

Search function on here seems a bit odd sometimes. I did a search for Rushforth and "Rushforth" before asking, and with no result. Then tried again a few minutes ago, again without results, other than today's mentions. Then one more time and found it along with several other mentions which had not shown up previously at all. I have no idea what was different, almost certain not spelling because the "suggestions" that pop up weren't misspelled.
Anyway, Thanks!

If you were in the thread when you did the search, it just searched the thread, best to be at the forum top when searching. Hope that helps.

That probably explains it, Thanks Chris.
And that's a nice boat, Dave.

Thanks Ron.    I am currently putting a Yanmar 9Hp single diesel in.     Somehow Mama doesn't feel enamored with sitting in the middle of a pile of firewood.....so I'll be taking a page from the motor lauch Scolopendra

Hello Dave,

Just saying

Not a huge thing, but I picked up some tooling today for this project.   A 0.8 to 1.25 bore gage.....got a very good price on it too.
This will be for the cylinder bore effort and maybe even the crank bearing bores!....just   1.259
