spondonturbo

75mm is 1170cc from memory. look standard compression flat top. 18mm pin? number sounds like a wiseco number but maybe an old one?

The same guy who owned them all along, still has the businesses registered as trading. I believe he is the same guy who has set up Northern classics.

great idea to rebuild as a tribute. Plenty of help on here for you as you go along. Look forward to seeing the progress

that one above is woodys spondon Katana and is the only one I know of. There was a rumour there were 2 but never seen another. Mick has the only Spondon GIA katana as it was made before they closed the doors recently and is different to the original spondon katana. I have the drawings for the spondon katana. As far as I know there aren't any other ali framed ones. I have seen a copy done in steel and as Clive says there are now steel frames around from when Team Classic Suzuki copied my katana frame to produce race frames.

yes Warpspeed stuff is lovely. I have seen some of their full kits and they are very nice. They try to keep the turbo as high up as possible.

I was going to buy them but could see you were interested mate We obviously have similar tastes

the unclaimed helmet

Can I just park my van on your plot again

that is lovely. look forward to seeing the progress

it is on the bench atm. a lot further on than last post. Might be ready for next summer.

good progress mate

Maybe they started on the U702 motors which would have been 83 I think. My kat turbo project is using one of these and I cant remember if the crank had any welding or not. it is fully welded now though

efe engines had some welding to the crank but not enough for big hp. The earlier GSX motors did not as far as I know.
