Hi All,
My ears were burning. Here are some vids.
Gav,
There are lots of photos of the build in my photobucket album and plenty more of the car at VSCC events. Search "austin BAC" "MISS BACFIRE" and "MISS BACKFIRE" the subtly of the play on the name of the engine maker is often missed.
I would point out the engine is a mere 1900cc and therefore barely classifiable as a motorbike engine despite the fact that is where it once belonged.
Last year the engine tore the bevel box apart at Wiscombe. I have since made a new shaft and hub for the bevel box, this is a 1 1/4" solid shaft with a 3/8" square key and split hubs very similar to a GN counter shaft.
Regards
Rob
