For Sale FS casting for Wright Radial

[byawor]

These are the best castings I have ever seen They are die cast not sand so finish is really nice. I bought these years ago from the guy in Norway I think. The flying club there
commissioned a professional machinist to build the engine and then sold castings to defray the cost. Building instructions included. I had dreams of using these on a v twin but
realistically will never happen so I would sell them. I think they are worth $US100.

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately, I think there is a line now. I'm #2. I'm pretty sure #1 is going to take them though.

Sorry guys, I have every intention of completing the transaction…… but you never know.

Not sure exactly what you are asking . I look at it as 18 pairs or sets just as I might for a race car. I would make them as a machining project. Plan each move and tool used. Similar to what a cnc machine might be programmed to do. You may end up with some kind of holding fixture. Just another machining and mfg. set up. Yes it will take time whether they are cut from solid or machined castings. I think I migh explore 3D metal printing. I’ve made fixtures for forming snd welding fuel tanks and seats in the racers over the years. Sometimes the fixture took longer to make than the product. Often the time and material costs were recovered on the second or third remake. I most certainly would create cad models first to see what the finished part looks like.

Hi how many heads/rocker boxes are you after.

 

[H Pearce]

Hi wirralcnc,

Going to jump in here, I would be VERY interested in getting one more head/rocker box set. My ideal use for the heads I have would be a 3 cylinder radial……. Just one short at the moment!

 

[wirralcnc]

I have 20 heads and 40 boxes and covers

Wow!
That is quite a stash. I wish I had bought a bunch when the original designer was still around.
Would you be willing to part with some?

I'm sure they where sold as a set of 10. 9 for the radial and a spare used for 1st set ups etc. I defo want to keep a set of 10. But might sell a set of 10 for the right price.
