Title: Villiers barrel and piston
Post by: pete1975 on March 16, 2012, 03:41:51 PM

I have a barrel and piston believed to be from a Villiers engine - can anyone confirm what model machine it was fitted to.
details are :- Cast iron barrel looks like has number C11768 or could be C11468 - 66mm bore
Piston has stamped on top number 26113 - STD with 2 rings fitted.

Any ideas

Thanks

A picture is always useful. Villiers also made industrial and stationary engines so it is quite possible you have one of those.

Thanks for links - have sent off emails to the sites but so far no replies.
Since first post have now found 2 cylinder heads marked with numbers 11785 and B11910
Both these heads fit the barrel and are in very good condition.
It has been suggested the barrel, piston and heads were fitted to a Greeves m/c back in the 1960's
Will try and get a picture later.

A quick search brings up a reference to the C11768 in relation to a Villiers 32A engine.
Hope this helps.
