Received these original RC Engineering catalogues today. Trying to identify some older parts is sometimes a challenge. Now know the origin of the swing arm Im using and also dealer price lists have part numbers for future treasure hunts!!
Looks like the original builder of the bike was an RC fan!!
If anyone is interested Im very happy to copy and print out any info.. Just let me know!

Lovely work mate.
You got any history of the bike when it was used for drag racing?

Was not too happy with the trimmed down de lugged battery tray so had a go at an ally version..
Suprisingly the battery fits!! Nice and snug but will at a retaining strap.
Now to mount the dreaded starter solenoid and rectifier ..

Not posted for a while ..
An idea that turned out more challenging than initially thought!! Giving a later MK2 Generator cover an early style look!
