WTB - 12v Starter & Coil for high school program
Next week I'm starting a diversion training program for disconnected Year 9 high school students. I'll be volunteering at a high school in Knox
The plan to teach the kids some basic mechanical knowledge using my old 1600 twin port engine.I'll first cover the tools and their use, then go from
a running engine, pull down the top end to heads off, and finally re-assemble, tune and startup; in the process they learn how an engine works.
So far I have an enclosed gear box segment to use as a starter mounting (thanks to VW Performance Centre). I have built a switch and relay rig for
an ignition switch, using an old battery from my car. Fuel comes from a jerry can. My new engine was built with new exhaust, heater boxes, alt, carbs
& tinware, so I've an almost complete engine
Today I went through the old engine top to bottom and have it almost ready to go apart from a couple of basic items:
-- a 12v starter motor
-- a coil
-- a rotor button for a 009
These bits only have to handle very occasional startups, so tired parts will do the job.
I have posted this before to no avail, but now the course has finally been confirmed with the school, and we're starting next week.
Clearly a low price would help, as this is a volunteer gig at my wifes school.
Happy to collect bits from anywhere around Melb
