steve's from sommerset's kubota enfield

[arnaud]

anyone any news about this bike? i would love to see the subframe and position of the engine..

I'm waiting on Tim from sommerset's kubota build, heh, lots of diesel bikes in somerset!

[arnaud]

Maybe theyknow each other and perhaps willing to share their builds with us. I hope the engine is possible to fit the enfield frame without having parts of it removed..
And i wonder how he managed to fit the sprocket on the kubota's flywheel!

[alexanderfoti]

We will see, although I think the weight may pose an issue.

they are 53kg(dry?) thats not much more then a 418 china diesel single..

[alexanderfoti]

are we talking about the kubota twin ?

[arnaud]

are we talking about the kubota twin ?

yup, the z482

[alexanderfoti]

O right apologies, I was under the impression that the kubota was about 75kg. That would be great if one of those would fit in an enfield!

[arnaud]

I guess the bigges thing to solve is that the primary sprocket is bolted on (?) the flywheel.
How does one fit that into an oil-tight primary case?
