Please help

Does anyone have a parts motor or some engine parts laying around. I desperately need a couple of connecting rod bolts and nuts, at least 2, 12 if I can find them. I can not finish assembly of my motor until a get them. Failing that if anyone has a possible source. I have exhausted all sources that I have with no luck. All I can say is please HELP!

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Did you check with our regular club suppliers?  They should all have what you are looking for.

Dang, I figured you found those long ago!
I just emailed a guy, a long shot.
None of the places I mentioned had them?

Duane Hayes says he's got 161 parts engines & to email him.

Thanks Mark, I sent him an email.
I did check every source I could find including the ones you sent me with no luck.

What about Paul Berry at Willys America? What did he have?

I sent a message Willys American and they said they didn't have any at this time.

Duane Hayes,a reader of the Forum, was able to send me what I needed, they arrived yesterday and they look like they are exactly what I need. Thank you Duane, very much and I will have you piston in the mail, early next week, I still have to find them and I am going out of town for a few days.  Thank you also Mark for the good lead, the second time you have been a lifesaver.

I am sorry I credited the wrong person for the kind help with the badly needed rod bolts. I should have thanked Gilbert Chestney. Thank you Chestney.

This worked so well for the rod bolts I needed, thank you to Gilbert and the group for the list of possible sources. I now need a windshield frame, I do not need the stanchions, mine are ok. My frame has 2 saw cuts that were spot welded back together. The frame flexed at one of these cut locations and now my windshield is cracked. I bought a replacement windshield but I don't want to put it in until I get the frame replaced.

Thanks,

Warren

I have come to the conclusion that I need a new flywheel. I had a nice one that I had surfaced when I took my engine in to get the machine work done. I got the flywheel back well before the block and head. I put it away SOMEWHERE and now that I am ready to install it I can not figure out where I put it. I have been looking for weeks and the only solution is to replace it, then I will find the original.
Is the 134 flywheel the same as the 161 flywheel. How many teeth on the flywheel gear, I am hearing 149 or 129.

Thanks

Warren

Are you looking for a Darrin frame?
I have a perfectly modified Allstate frame to fit the Darrin, that I did a few months ago. It includes the transmission cross member.

Thanks Lee, but I don't need a frame. I should not need a flywheel either if I hadn't put mine away for safekeeping and don't know where that is now. Also, I miss typed, I was trying to ask whether the Darrin uses a 124 or 129 tooth flywheel gear, not a 149 tooth.

Finally, replacement flywheel and clutch in place. Mounting the transmission tomorrow and complete painting the engine. I hope to drop engine back in by this weekend
