What engine are these castings

[Old SchoolParticipant @oldschool]

I bought a job lot of castings from a recent auction, one is a small V twin anyone recognise them and could I get the drawings.

Chenery 15cc V twin I think, His son should be able to supply the drawings

[John PurdyParticipant @johnpurdy78347]

They are definitely Les Chenery’s 15cc V Twin as Jason suggests. The build was serialized in Engineering in Miniature starting with the Dec 1983 Issue.

Try this for his son John [email protected].

Hemmingway did list the engine at one time so you could also try Reeves who have taken over Hemmingway

They look a reasonable set of castings. I made this engine from a Hemmingway kit some years ago, but I notice they no longer list it. I have the set of drawings in A2 size, so not easy to copy, but if you have no success with obtaining  a set, I am sure we can find a way for me to copy them. If you are serious about making it, I also have the table of off-set figures for milling the cams. These were produced using the Cam-Calc programme, originated by Rod Jenkins, a frequent visitor to this site.

Thanks for all the help, I have ordered a set of drawings from John Chenery amongst the information he sent are the dates of the article in EiM which could be useful.

i bought the casting because there is a Sugden Special casting amongst them which i have always wanted to build.
