Yes, as you've said, a big sleeve effectively. Just thought it interesting as it's based on the Honda bottom end.

Bit bigger scale on this link but same principle, think they're both inspired by the same engineer named David Dunstan.

Like many of us on here I make a lot of stuff in the workshop myself but these guys are leagues above a simple engineer and to carry out mods like those requires in depth knowledge of drawing, pattern making and metallurgy, let alone precision engineering.
I would take my hat off to them if it wasn’t so bloody cold and I had hair!
Many thanks for posting these links folks - these things will die out if successive governments insist on making any mods to road vehicles impossible.

yes there are some very clever engineers out there .this reminds me when one of my mates wrecked the big ends on his honda goldwing this was in the 1970's and he could not afford to get new ones from honda ,anyway he took the old shells to a local engineer in swansea autos he matched them up with austin mini shells and all this was done off the top of his head and he wrote all the sizes on a piece of paper lol happy days
;) sorry for hijacking the thread guys. keep them photos coming
