Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Classic Cars (UK group) / July 2009Con Rod Sought.
I’m looking for a con rod with a split bearing as per dimensions on picture for an engine of 3” bore , 3.5” stroke and 2hp. Anything of a slightly wider lateral bearing width considered. Stationary engine, car, tractor, whatever…….. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2509212940104310933zcVSyu Is there such a publication as a con rod cross reference catalogue? Possibly from British Motor Manufacturers' Association? Thanks in advance.

Photos of it here :- http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/571635479HsnTfR Seems to have come to a sudden stop early in its life due to water ingress to cylinder probably via water cooled exhaust. Somebody has tried to extend a Ford con rod to suit. I repatriated the engine from Canada, so the con rod markings will probably be for a north American model. As for age, this engine first appeared at the Royal Show at Norwich in 1911 and was produced up to the early months of WW1. Regards, Dave Carter.

If you can get the original, there are still Forge's in this country who could knock you one up and then you could take it to an engine reconditioners to get it machined for bearings.

That's interesting - whats wrong with using that one :) I've never seen one that small in the journal and certainly not in motorcycle stuff which usually have a solid and not a split bigend. Must be very early type rod. |
