Just wondering if there are any experts on here that know anything about fitting superchargers to (sidevalve) MM's.
I don't have all the details from my contact, but he mentioned the name - Keith Luck, who he has tried to contact without success, however I don't know if he is still around or whether there are other 'experts' available that can be contacted to discuss?
I'm just looking for email addresses in the first instance that I can pass on as I have no experience on this matter.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Got it. Ta.
Have been away chopping the legs out from under 3 x Airbus A330s at Manchester. Great fun!
Might be getting a teaching job in Bolton soon. Had to look it up on a map.

Re: Super Chargers
Just been looking at some Spotters chat about the 3 Thomas Cook aircraft at Manchester. They were only 20/21 years old, which is nothing for some aircraft.

Re: Super Chargers
The problem was that after TC went bust there was no preventative maintenance done on them and no covers put over the engines. Same happens with cars, I guess.

Re: Super Chargers
Yes, 12 months in the open in Manchester, with no maintenance and no engine covers they might as well have parked them on a beach somewhere.
