Hello all. This is Mike from Llandrinio on the Shropshire/Powys border. I've just found the site today, which is great because I'm desperate for advice on my old Howard Bantam and gardening in general. My bantam wont start and I'm toying with whether to try to refurbish the Villiers engine on it, or whether to put a newer engine on it. The trouble is, the engine housing forms part of the pivot system that tightens the fan belt. I know some bantams have a separate pivoting plate that the engine is bolted to, which seems a lot easier. Unfortunately, mine is not that straightforward. I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks Mike.
