diggerjames 543 #77 Posted October 11, 2014 Hi all I've had a few hours in the shed today and been fitting making engine mountings for the Briggs and Stratton vangard power unit here is what I've done so far I had to alter the pulley sizes because the original one was to big so I went and found a smaller one , which is more suitable ! 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
