My mate Mouse saw an 800cc,East German v twin diesel lump on e bay, and had to bid on it.
He won it and dragged it back to Newport in his sidecar outfit averaging 30mph.
After finding out if it ran, he decided to put the lump in a modified BMW frame, with beemer gearbox.
Pics show it in an early form, and he has been busy with a machined steel adaptor this week.

I can't remember the make now, but the lump comes out of a small truck/utillity fingy.
There are some films on You Tube.

hhmmm thats interesting, what model beemer is the g/box from? ive got an 1800 subaru motor to go into a trike in the not too distant future and thought about using a similar g/box. i dont want to use the subaru g/box as its way too long, apart from being 4 wheel drive, for what im planning. any info would be good  |

Dunno about the gearbox, but I will ask. Mouse said he was going to join on here but I don't think he has yet.
