TonyB 0 Posted Monday at 10:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:57 PM Just looked at the REME Museum site and promised myself a visit as soon as covid allows. We tried to find some photos of the M9 to no avail, but found some others which are interesting for another thread, so thanks for the nudge. I think the tracks last about 1,000 miles on hard surfaces but cross-country is more interesting. Have fun. I’m enjoying your project and the detail in the pics, well done.

Alan stubbs 0 Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Hi chris whats the condition of the engine? Will it be a total strip down and complete rebuild? Best wishes with it Alan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Hall 32 Posted Tuesday at 09:29 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:29 PM I’m thinking I will be purchasing a crate engine from BAIV. The engine that came installed needs a lot of work. At best it needs a rebore due to the cylinders being corroded, 2 very badly. The generator needs new bearings, the carb is rusted solid and the distributor is also solid with only the shell being salvageable. For the cost of having it rebuilt (or the parts for) I would likely save money by buying one of BAIVs surplus rebuilt stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
