Crutch mounting lugs
You can make these yourself, the ones above are made from aircraft alloy pop rivet bodies tapped out to 2.5mm, and then partially tapped on the outside by using an oversized die to get some glueing purchase. They work well. One can cut a flat on the head of the rivet to secure it once it is glued into the crutch.
Andrew’s Nelson type T/R pans
These pans are a gravity sand cast unit and as such need some cleaning up. They are cast from AA601 Aluminium alloy and when polished up look very good. You will need to drill and tap them to suit your engine and model. AUD25 each
New Pans Available
Finally new batch of speed and T/R pans are available.
The speed pan will suit 2cc engines and has been improved buy making it thicker in places where it was a bit thin previously . The curved shape at the front has been improved and a boss for the rear hold down has been added. Price is still $25 for the raw item or $30 with the flashing cleaned off.
The T/R pan has a make over by making it a bit wider between the front hold downs and the engine mount. This will make it easier to fit the engine in and improves the appearance a bit. Also it has been shortened and the brace is now twice as wide. This allows you to remove the rear part of the brace to get the cut out and tank closer to the engine.
See pictures above for the pans at various stages of completion. If you want me to finish the pan ready to put on your model, It takes about 2 ½ hours to do this. Price is therefore $75
for 1 pan for interstate
buyers. For overseas postage allow $12
