Nah we thought we could just weld on the cylinderbank from one, and make a badass 1150cc v4cxman said:stretch it and use both motors
I just bought it last week, barely got around to reading up on welding reynolds 531 steel..surffly said:I WANT THAT!
Is it yours?
Or something local for sale?

There are no engine mounts whatsoever, left downtube is cracked, welded and cracked again, and headstock is bent..surffly said:Why are you welding on it?
P.O didnt have much info other than it being registered and used with a triumph engine. I guess since the a65 lump fitted well in there a t120 should not be a problem either.. but the papers say t100, so its probably made just for that.teazer said:It would originally have been SIFBronze welded. SIFBronze is still available in the UK but not so much in the US. Silicon bronze has a slightly lower strength but should be OK if you can't get Nickle bronze filler (welding) rods. They were Oxy welded not MIG or TIG originally.
541 or T45 or 4130 from germany should be Ok.
The frame does look shorter than the average Triumph cradle. I wonder if it was made for a T100.
Can you tell if it was made by the Rickmans or by Pat French? I wonder if it was a one off custom frame. Or could it be a locally made copy of a Rickman to take some strange Swedish single motor?
