Title: Table Top Rally of Alyn Foundry engines
Post by: Chipmaster on April 16, 2020, 05:47:17 PM: Lovely weather so I ran four of my Alyn Foundry engines on a table this afternoon.

Here's a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUBpmUVVNKs

The table is a re-purposed gate and wasn't sufficiently rigid but it saves me getting down to floor level :old:

Carrying the engines is also an issue, they seem to have become heavier since last year.

I think you're going to need a larger platform for next year eh?

Cheers Graham.

Another firm worth trying for the Clarkson compression sleeve is Rotagrip in Hockley, Birmingham. They happen to be selling some C type collets on eBay at the moment. On eBay their name is fordeight.

Really enjoyed your engine show Andy! Hope the gate fee for using the gate wasn't too high. :Lol:

Well done. It was a special treat for me, as I'm several thousand kilometers from the UK in Canada, and couldn't have ever made it in person anyway.

You have a some great runners there. :cheers:

Still an " unknown " make despite there being at least 3 other survivors.

The engine is around 1/2HP running on Propane with Hot tube ignition.
