Whenever I build something, I usually try to see how far I can go. Take the Liney Thimble. How hard would it be to make a 6 cylinder radial out of it. (Those who remember, I made a 3, 5 and 9 cylinder radials out of K&S brass tubing.)( Posted somwhere here)

This is original


This is the 6 cylinder.

Made very similar to the Thimble, except for the crankcase, master/slave rod.Although, I followed my usual procedures when attempting something like this. I made it up as I went. I will have to make a mount for it as yet, however IT WORKS fine as the vid shows.


Cheers from Tasmania - Geoff
 
What a great engine. Congratulations Geoff on a fine job and great imagination.
