These engines have now found a fantastic new home thankyou for all your pms

Im nearly there with my parts collecting its very exciting and like christmas early with all these packages arriving. Has any body got or know of a starter either hand or electric for a cheetah engine or an alvis leonides for a reasonable price as that would nearly complete my large needed spares list any help would be gratefully received as im getting keen and want to try and have her running at some stage next year !

very good news I do not need the services of the rip off tig welder as a very kind gentleman is selling me three cylinders so my broken ones will not need repairing now. Next plan of attack is to get the front cover off and clean out the horrible anti corrosion inhibitor thats causing the crank to be stiff ive looked in the with a torch and its packed full of the stuff! also my prop hub should be here in the next day or so. So its all coming together slowly!:)

Heres my cheetah prop ive got it as an ornament in the spare bedroom at the moment so it does not get damaged ive got 6 inches clearance to the roof! And a picture of one of the magnetos ive got another coming in the post. Just need a starting magneto and hand starter and starter motor then thats the electrical side dealt with.

A different use for a radial engine. Made or converted by alu weld.de Its fitted into a goggomobile car and I found it while looking at radial engines on youtube

All seven cylinder are now off it took 5 hours and a lot of sweating and the crank turns freely. The prop should be ok as it is brand new old stock and various people I have asked reckon it should be.

Another cylinder off today thats number three the next one will tighten up but I reckon the rings are stuck to the bore so it will not unscrew. Lots of coca cola down the bore and leave it for a day or two and I hope it frees off. And my new old stock prop is arriving on thursday Im gradually amassing the bits now and hope to get it running in the spring.
