Rickman Metisse CR - engine mounts ???
« on: June 03, 2015, 07:36:10 PM »
Help please !
I've decided its time the 'bargain' rickman frame was sorted out. The project totally stalled when I realised that the 6T unit engine was never meant to fit the frame mounts... and especially not with the dreadfully-tacked-on chrome tube below the original front mounts. Attempts to get info out of Gerry whatsits lot yielded a resounding 'not interested'.
I'm inclined to fit what it was originally designed for...
So - anyone know if the 'rickman story' book has any useful details ?
Its was registered in Nov '68 as a Triumph 500, with frame #R316
