Title: Wanted knacked engine case
Post by: Mike Notts on September 21, 2025, 09:49:13 AM
Wanted a knacked or low value t1 engine case.
If it has a crankshaft  so much the better.

I would like to collect it from somewhere within 20-30 miles of Nottingham, ideally.

I want to slice the fly wheel end off the case.

Happy to pay something towards it.

Thanks for looking Mick.

Be very carefully when chopping VW engine case,s up they are magnesium alloy and the grinding dust burns like you won't belive

Thanks for the advice, I will be wary.

I knew they were magnesium, we used to put one in the middle of a bonfire on 5th.
