Hi D.A.,

I know a replica builder who is having most of the parts for the 110 HP le Rhone reconstructed. I suggested to him that he should make extra parts available for sale, and he seems to be agreeable about this. I don't think he is having the crank cases reconstructed, but I know someone who would be able to achieve this, and I will approach him about the crank cases at some point. My friend also had an 80 HP le Rhone but he sold it unfortunately (fortunately for the buyer of course - but I won't be able to be involved in measuring it and having parts re manufactured). I was going to mention the availablitiy of rotary engine spare parts on this forum, and I will provide more information as it becomes available. Ultimately of course the plan is to progress from manufacturing and selling / trading spare parts to manufacturing and selling / trading complete engines.

Cheers,

David.
