Veteran 2 speed countershaft transmission
Originally patented in 1912 by Kirby & Edwards of Lincoln. Reverse engineered from frame fitment dimensions, period magazine reviews & patent sketches shown in period sales brochures. The countershaft was subtly redesigned to house modern bearings for reliability. 3D printed casting patterns were produced to faithfully reproduce the clutch housings.
Veteran Precision engine 600cc
timing chain cover
A selection of timing covers redeveloped for replica castings. These were awkward as a batch was to be cast, that must fit exactly with existing castings - such that if a customer only required a "front" it would fit with there existing "back". To check fit, we printed "as fitted" and then added machining and shrinkage allowances before casting. Varieties were produced for "The Precision", "Sun Precision" and "Calthorpe". Other brands that used Precision engines can be quickly produced, please ask.
