A fellow named Juris Ramba in Latvia repaired a crankcase half for my '29 Scout, and Juris is now restoring a 1929 Indian Four. He needs some technical questions answered, here's part of his message to me:
"OUR 1929 INDIAN 4 ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CASE NEEDS LINE BORING. WE HAVE THE BORING MACHINES AND EXPERIENCE IN LINE BORING, BUT THIS INDIAN CASE HAS CERTAIN NUANCES AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE STARTING THE LINE BORING OPERATION. ALSO THE SAME WITH INDIAN 4 RODS. WE HAVE GOT THE SPECIAL ALUMINIUM TIN MATERIAL B 850 FROM WHICH WE ARE GOING TO MACHINE THE INSERT BEARINGS. I GOT THE BASIC SPECIFICATIONS FOR THAT, BUT I AM SHORT OF THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON SPLITTING/CUTTING THE BEARINGS IN HALF BEFORE FITTING THEM AND BORING IN A SPECIAL ROD BORING MACHINE THAT WE HAVE."
If you have the expertise to help him, or know of someone willing to share their knowledge, then send me a message on this forum and I'll pass along his contact info, or vice versa! Thanks!
