If it ever get's stolen Bruce & I'm in WA, check my pockets for that & your Wankel.

But it's the 4 strokes that will go in my pockets first!

R.E.A. is the brand name. Some history and general information can be found here...

It is a spark engine. The lever is the advance retard.

So back to mounts for display.

I have MKs 1 thru 3 of these Atoms.

The problem is that the wee tanks are kind of a problem in that the mounting plate of the crankcase is about 1/2 way the total height of the motor.

I am thinking using bent Brown Tip Silver Solder, bending for legs and each side with a small hardwood mounting/land.

Any ideas?

Cheers

What about some 3mm aluminium sheet bent in a U shape with a fork cut into one of the sides of the U for the engine to sit in?

Nice engines, Keep the pics comming!! 8)
