I picked up the aluminum tube I am going to use to space out the adapter plates in the intermediate housing. snapped a pic while I was seeing how it would chuck up in my lathe. this is an extrusion so it is strong and the hex shape looks as well as it will fit.

I do not have a photo of the steel replacement swimg arm,but EML replace the paralever on all models BMW when coverting them to sidecar combinations.
EML is Dutch based and is one of the larger sidecar suppliers in Europe.

I received the bearings for the intermediate housing as well as the transfer case yesterday. I also have the 3D print for the aluminum casting that will be the bearing mount for the flywheel support. Progress is progress...

Looks like a great project love to see it running.
The Buckland B3 is back in manufacture of course, only 22 ever made by the two previous manufacturers. I have Number 14, a mk2.
Cheers Peter.

The Buckland has a neat look for sure. Not sure how well I would fit in it though. Never seen one in person though.

Today I tried my hand at sand casting aluminum. It turned out ok with much learned in the process. I couldn't resist throwing it in the lathe and starting to rough it out. This piece will hold the bearings and flywheel shaft.

That is great work. well done.

I got the remaining seals and snap rings delivered yesterday for the drive line. I now have everything I need to make the bearing housing and complete 90% of the flywheel stub shaft. I am off to the mountains hunting the rest of this week so nothing new will be posted until I get back and get to making parts again the following week.

Back from hunting and making parts again. I have the lathe work done on the bearing housing. I discovered a few bad spots in the casting but nothing that would scrap it or cause performance issues.

I also started on the flywheel stub shaft. That started life as a 4" dia. x 7" lg. solid chunk of steel. Hopefully I will finish the lathe work on it tomorrow. So far so good though.

I worked today on the Output Shaft of the transfer case. I got all the lathe work done on it, the keyways and splines will be done on the mill.
