Today I got the brake bolt out, but to my surprise it's a hole inside that goes straigth in the gearbox???



I did plug it up with some "glue".

Here is the engine converted to diskbrake

Re: My Typhoon project 172

To get it out, I use heat and ice. Yes i could just grind it off, but I like to have the opportunity to reinstall it.

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Fair enough, did not even know it came out to be honest. For the swap to disk I'm guessing you just need to take that out, get a hub and disk, rear brake caliper, change the LH brake resevoir area if you get me?

Re: My Typhoon project 172

I did pay for this exhaust test last night, and would like to you "expert" comments on this.
It's tested on a Runner 180.
It's in German, and the "picture" quality is not good, but the numbers are easy to understand.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

I see the test proves what ive always been led to beleive...

The Scorpion is a torque monster :banana:

21.9 nm @ 6360 rpm....

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

Got the engine in to today.
1 problem, the old Typhoon rear shock does not fit??



Old engine

New engine


I have also got a used NRG Power rear breake hose, which I'm trying to fit.

 

Re: My Typhoon project 172

starting to come together now
