My Project mabye for sale if I get a decent enough offer

I built a locost to a great specification and got it through the SVA test and am thinking of selling.

Here's the history, from ex-engineer.

Built the car using mostly sierra parts but had the back axle from a Capri.

All MK bodywork and it in great shape.

Took the car engine out post SVA and fitted a CBR1000 bike engine.

Couldn't get the clutch to work and got fed up with it. There it has remained in my garage for the past 2 years.

Please let me know if you are interested and I can post some photos.

Seems a shame to sell for the sake of a clutch!

Can you not get someone who knows about bike clutches to help you???

Cheers,
James

You have a figure in mind?

Indeed it sseems a shame, but had a similar issue with my old bike and I just lost the desire to keep it

Have a word with Jambojeef.

He fitted the CBR1000 engine to his car, maybe he'll tell you where to get the parts for the clutch?

Seems a shame to sell.

Hi vince. Nice to see you back!

Its cant be that hard to sort the clutch, what roughly is the problem?

You needa ride in a bec to get the motivation back!
