I thought it was about time for a bit of a Holman Engineeering blog-type thread, just to give you good people an idea of the variety of work that gets done around here sometimes. First up:

Well it had to happen eventually :roll: Formula Vee racing heads for Kafer...

Pattern on the left exploded it's fan at full chat, something like the wrong side of 6000 crank rpm.

I can't show you the combustion chambers that we have machined for the engine builder; they're a bit special and very high compression :wink:

Could be, it's for some racing Beetle or other. Not my thing at all. I once went to North Wales on a climbing trip in a mates 1303 one chilly Easter, 4-up, we broke down (starter), heater was crap, never again!

I'm no slave to VW brand loyalty!

We run a small batch of these every now and then. It's a transmission adapter to allow the fitment of a Jaguar XJ-S 5-speed (Getrag 221) onto a much earlier Jag XK bellhousing for modified racers (mostly)

I machine-engrave them with our logo so they don't get re-branded once sold :wink:
