Anzani W Engine rebuild

Bognor Paul · 18 June 2012, 05:52 AM

Hi Folks,
I'm new to this forum, so hi to everyone.
I'm building a 1909 Anzani engine. It has come from France and definately has providence.
Have done a dry build, stripped and done some mods, getting ready for the new build as soon as I get the new valves and rings. If anyone out there has any information, no matter how sparce I would be grateful. Will post some pictures soon.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers. Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to The Aerodrome!

It's great to hear that you are rebuilding an Anzani engine. I don't have any parts or information for you unfortunately, but did you know that there is a company building new replicas of Anzani engines? It is called The Pioneer Aviator. I guess that's where you have sourced the valves and rings from, unless you are the owner of the company.

I would be very interested to hear where you sourced your parts from, and / or whether you have any drawings and / or parts you are willing to sell or exchange. I have always been very interested in some of the early designs such as the Bleriot.

Regards,

David.
