An email from Albert in Malta:
"I wonder if you could help me? I gave my 1931 Model 20 crankcases for welding as I discovered some hairline cracks around the bearing bosses. The "professional" welder I gave them to managed to ruin them for me (he did not normalise the cases prior to welding) and they are now useless, as they cracked up when cooling down. Do you know anyone who might have a spare set for sale? 1931 and 1932 Model 18 are similar. Best regards, Albert"
Anyone who has a spare set of cases or an engine for sale can contact John and I'll forward your message to Albert.
