After a conversation with Ed G, I got out the old Lumix and shot a few pictures for him of broken up and worn Velocette Bits. Most of the pictures are of the engine out of the 1947 Iron MSS project. Broken barrel and head fins, here and there plus pictures of the rocker box where oversized bolts were wound in to make their own threads after the old threads gave up the ghost. I bit more patina then one engine should wear? I suppose you could bust off more fins and make it into a full on dope motor... too bad the flywheels aren't up to that task.
The other set of pictures are the mostly worn out barrel and piston. The barrel is from the alloy MSS engine 10675, the piston is the original out of MSS 13084. Big questions, is there life left.
As said, pretty pictures of ugly.
