julezee001 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 An Eagle Diesel squeezed in there? Looks familiar! What kind of clutch is fitted? I grafted the old Meadows one onto the Eagle flywheel just to keep the clutch release simple (original). Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Sorry if ive missed somthing but why is Rolls Royce donkey being removed? It's no gone lame has it?:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gps Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 no it did not go lame :-\ it was in need of some tender care and it is the only way i could get access to the clutch to modify it for a prop insted of the lay rub .:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Mmmmm.... That looks rather nice. Would like to see a picture of your propshaft conversion when possible:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Cor!!! Thats lurvly. Great paint job on the engine. I think I'd have to lift my Eagle out too, to fix the clutch etc, as it's all a bit tight 158 UXL. PSY 974 has an extra 4 inches on the chassis, bonnet etc. to leave the clutch housing in the original position, making clutch repair easy. Mine was in good condition, and with care should last a good few years undisturbed? Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gps Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 now with all the alterations i hve done the clutch housing and clutch can be removed without taking out the engine :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
