Wanted, a Bosch Magneto setup that replaces the Generator.

I believe I have one here in the States - I can get a weigh-in & you provide your postal code & I'll see what we can do.

Thanks Steve. I believe we corresponded many moons ago. My postcode is 4552 Queensland Australia.

For all of us, the postcode/zipcode plays no role in international shipping. Parcels from here to any destination in the USA are all at the same rate. Likewise, the reverse applies. Variations in charges within the USA are based on distance, so there are different rates charged. Australia Post now uses flat rates for parcels based on weight, so no difference for rates for longer distances. It would seem that after travelling all the way across the Pacific, the little bit extra to get to the final destination is of no consequence to either Postal system.

A good friend in USA who has helped me out for many years is also looking for one if anyone else has one for sale or just the rear cover plate and gear. Any help appreciated.

Thanks to Steve I have the Bosch Magneto drive fitted to the Rajo 8V now. Just like last raced in 1933.

Interesting carbs, like a winfield H but not. Out of curiosity what are they?

Solex side draft.

Looking good there, Mark !

Mark- I have the gears for these in stock, just FYI.

The car its from 1927-28. You can see the Solex Carburettors and little aluminium air tubes in this photo. Still chasing at least 2 of these wire wheels.

Thanks Dan but Mike Bender helped him out via a friend of his.

LoL! I wondered where that would end up!

One of those wheels popped up here on the forum a long while ago. Not sure if it could be found again…

Thanks Kevin. If you see anymore, please let me know. Just the centres would be good. They are the same both sides and fit a T hub perfectly. I do believe they were made to fit T fords and could have originated in the UK or Europe.

A better photo of the drive for the water pump. the sprocket on the cam gear is for an earlier version of the same motor driving a magneto on the right side of photo.

Your pics look familiar… no doubt you have posted them before. The centers look simple enough to duplicate, and good news is that you only need to make 2. Haven’t you always wanted to experiment with metal spinning…? Spokes and rims will be the easy part

Thanks for the update, Kevin. Be nice to find some wheel centres.
