Mick has original ST 46 silencers which someone asked for in another thread.

I wonder if this is same man who was running World Engines of England in 1974. I went to his place in person and got all the parts I needed, still using them to this day.

Quite an inventory for a one man show.

While I was there he got a call on the tele:

Caller: "If I brought in a part, could you identify it and sell me one?"

WE of E; "I wager I could do that blindfolded".

Yes, it's the same guy. I was working for him in '74 so we may have met.
Another sample 'phone conversation, "Yes sir, that is what I said." "Well of course sir, what a silly question?"
The email address I gave is actually for his son Dave. Mick would prefer FAXs to 44 (0)1923 218840.

If youre talking about STOCK ST Silencers, I have three NIB that are looking for a new home.

" What constitutes the dignity of a craft is that it creates a fellowship, that it binds men together and fashions for them a common language. For there is but one problem - the problem of human relations."

I had an exchange with Tom Lay that basically presented the fact that there were something like 3 or 4 revisions of both the V.60 and .46 G21 Supertigre stunt engines in terms of liner thickness, case, etc.

I had acquired a number of 'spare parts' over the years, thinking I was building up a cache I could use to keep mine going. I broached the possibility of building an engine from the spares and he indicated that unless I was randomly lucky, they would not all fit together to make an engine--despite being authentic ST parts for the same model.

All of that just as a caution to measure things and find out exactly which con rod you really need before buying one.

I'm to the point now that if I ever need one of my ST's serviced, rebuilt or fixed, I'm going to box it up and ship it to an expert on the type (Tom Lay in my case but there are others) and have him sort out the sordid details.

Just some info here.
The later perry ported ST 60 usually had muffler ears, 0.048" sleeve thickness, and had the long con rod because the wrist pin hole was higher up on the piston.
The non perry early version had 0.040 wall sleeve, no muffle ears, and a shorter rod, because the wrist pin was lower down in the piston.
The final version, the ST60K had its own rod, long but not suitable for the perry ported model. The crankpin was shorter on the ST 60K and so the lower rod bearing was shorter to match.
Can anyone bush or re-bush a ST 60 rod? I have several in need.

The Super Tigre that I require the conrod for, is a very early model
The motor has no muffler ears and is a dual ringed engine and it is
not perry ported, it also has a chromed liner.

I do not think there is enough metal to rebush the rod, hence my need to try and obtain a new one, possibly a gudgeon pin as well.

Hi John,
Frank Bowman rebushed my ST 51 rod on the lower end. I suspect he could do a ST 60. And it was real reasonable. Try him at [email protected]
