Hi All
Can anyone Help!
I'm currently attempting to restore my somewhat battered and bruised MDS Scrambler. Unfortunately when I bought the bike in the late 70's someone had mutilated the engine cradle to fit a 225 1h engine :-c and, although I used the bike in this format for a couple of years, I have now decided to complete the restoration to the original specification with 246cc 36a engine.
At present I am doing reasonable well, and have managed to source a 36a Engine albeit with only a round head and barrel, which will suffice for the time being. However, I've had no such luck sourcing an engine craddle and at present have only managed to get engine plates suitable for my 1H 225 which don't actually fit my frame neither
And, therefore would really appreciate anybody's help or suggestions for sourcing my quest. I will upload a picture of my engine cradle ('profile area' at the moment) as a fabrication weld repair might be an option, but beyond my skill set at present. As you can imagine I've tried the obvious Greeves people and numerous auto jumbles, but as yet no luck
On a brighter note my 1H 225 is in good working order, previous rebuild (Piston & Bore + .060" Big End bearing, Little End & new Conrod, new main Bearings and all Compression Seals) and as previously mentiones with a new set of engine plates to boot! and will shortly be listed for sell although, probably thro ebay if there appears to be no interest here.
So any Help Please!!! my best contact is nigeljohn-1@hotmail.co.uk
Kindest regards Nige
