hi all strokers lol, read Kars feature in PB and not happy! i tried to build one about 18 yrs ago (after reading the original feature)it ran very briefly due to getting a bit carried away with tuning.
formula 2 race engine (375 cc i think)
close ratio gearbox
tz 750 inlets
38 mm smothbore powerjet carbs
motoplat race ignition
motoplat twin coils + computer
stephens/lomas pipes

most of this was bought very cheap off a freind who gave up racing
i had a very tatty standard gamma
banned from driving and on the dole (love the 80'S)
Anyway after all this time of having it sat in the corner collecting dust and looking v sorry for itself i have decided to try again.
So any help or input would be appreciated.

The first thing i am looking for is the front coolant pipe a s-shape going from bottom of rad to water pump

soz cant seem to post pic Embarassed

the quantell (spelling??) hoses mentoined in the original PB yammagamma article were still available about 18 months ago. might be worth trying to get a set of them. Failing that Simon5 on the RD forum can get silicone hoses made, we could ask him to price up a small batch as i'd buy 2.
as for your pics, you'll have to get an account with photobucket.com or similar and upload them to there first.

As Tom said, upload 'em to PhotoBucket (or something similar), failing that email 'em to me and I'll post them for you. Smile

I built one in 1989, not sure where it is now, I think the guy I sold it to didn't know it had a YPVS engine, or rather did not know the significance...

In those days, cosmetics didn't matter.

So, it was an RG250Mk3 with a Stan Stevens stage III tuned engine breathing through 38mm Mikuni Powerjets and Stan Stevens pipes. Sounded the bees.... Ok, maybe the wasps...



Not sure whether I would like it back or prefer a 3MA...
