Thanks Garry

That all makes sense
Looks like the rims that I am looking at should fit with no problems

Thanks Rob Pictures appear to still have a fair bit of clearance to spring. When you measure 33mm is that rim mounting face to outer edge of rim on brake hub side. Just want to confirm we are talking the same thing. Would have thought brake hub would be wider than 33mm so not sure if I am confusing ...

Thanks John

Would be even happy if someone could take a picture underneath their Haffie so I can work out possible clearance to spring

Hi All

Does any one know what the standard offset is for a standard rim is in millimeters?
I am looking at some after market rims that are 13x7 but the offset is 90mm.
Will these conflict with with suspension spring or conflict with anything else?

Here are some pics of what I have on the go at the moment.
Had engine alloy parts aqua blasted and cleaned up and all the other panels I took into work and sand blasted and painted up.
Just a matter of the assembly now!

Over the next couple of months I think it will be the steep learning curve. I am in South Guildford so if you are ever in the neighbourh...

Thanks Gents

Thanks Garry That sort of mod for me would be a bit over the top, I see on Haflingertechnik that you can purchase 82mm high compression pistons so I am leaning to that option so I am guessing it has been done. A little curious though if having high compression pistons is it going to create other iss...

Hi All Has anyone had any experience with boring out to 82mm and using the high compression or a standard piston? My barrels are measuing a little over 81mm but the tolerance i believe is 1.5 - 2 thou but i am more pushing 5 thou so would be to worn to run new 81mm pistons. Is there any Pros or Cons...

No dramas John, just give me a couple of weeks as I will be out of the country

Hi Gents Thanks for the heads up for more WA owners out there. At the moment I will start with the engine as it was stripped down when I purchased it. The chap I bought it from kept all parts in the one box so it’s just a matter of going through it all and clean up and assemble. Also was fortunate w...

Yes sorry have updated now, but correct an all accounts!
