Fasteddy, im not really interested in trying to restore an M20, im not that much of a fan. In fact (sorry if this offends some owners lol) i find that style of bike (similar to Triumphs etc) with the large seats quite ugly. Im not a fan of those bikes from that era unless it is to turn them into a bobber style bike.
The only reason i bought this engine is it was cheap and i liked how it had a seperate gearbox and rounded bottom end i thought would be perfect for a droploop frame, i really like how the engine looks from the drive/sprocket side, very round and looks very similar to the single cylinder boardtrackers.
If i cant find a small seperate gearbox up to the job, or a way to start the bike with a direct belt drive setup Maybe i should clean the engine up a little and pass it on to someone who would appreciate it more. I posted my engine on a BSA site and they nearly died when i said i payed under $200 for it, so im sure i wont lose out.
And the gearbox wont go to waste as i have plenty of engines to suit it. In fact the guy i bought this one off has another Albion (that one is definitely Albion as it is stamped on it) very cheaply but it doesnt have a clutch, i was wondering if i did the same setup as my Villiers build with handclutch, but would then have gears.
