even the big drum infact looks like an old shape engine as it has a bearing inside the gearbox where the new shape (roling nut) hasent got one here... so the big drum with lugs is an ac engine with an old shape tranny cover? STRANGE as the typh big drum's are usually rolling nut engines.. this is a little confusing
its true that is realy wieard ,,i swear some off the old sr engine were not clutch nut on the outside but were able to be disc converted im pretty sure this is the engine ..
Winter ?? its the gold coast we dont get winter here well we do but its like 15 degree days intead of 30 degree days but its all good
okay theres teh small and big drum wheels and am i right in saying there were/are runner wheels to fit both? also the new-ish gilera storm? has runner wheels front and back (back being a drum) just wondering if this is the small or big drum?
big drum is a disk engine, but still old shape.. but i thought the old shape big drum's were the 180 engines (no lugs for the disk) but then again alot of runers are old shape engines.. but ye any can be used on a runner/typh.. just dependant on the wheel you want to run (and the missing waterpump of course) maybe worth checking the runner section for wc casaes
there no runner cases on there but i found this on SIP Hexagon 180 cases drum http://www.sip-scootershop.com/EN/Products/4342375/Engine+casing+PIAGGIO+Hexagon.aspx
also seems to be some sort of modded gilera case with DISK ?? http://www.sip-scootershop.com/EN/Products/RRP012/Engine+casing+RRP+GILERA.aspx

I did stumble over this case today. Is this something new, or is it just old stuff? This must be the rolling nut cases? http://www.sip-scootershop.com/main...r=I210487922&ProductName=Details&_language=EN Engine casing GILERA Runner/ ITALJET Dragster 125-180 with disc brake rear At long last!

Whoever puts a racer together, can, minus exhaust, achieve speeds up to 130 km/h!
didnt realise they was out of stock. tempted for the fact that there cheap enough and the fact that there brand new. brand new always beats 2nd hand.regardless if its the same thing
Don't have to tell me about new bits! Why I seem to have a typhoon with nothing but pointless new parts on it
