+I know nothing about these engines but I just saw this on ebay and wondered if it was of any use to people on here.

Bolinders must be like buses, all coming at once! The restored one is mine. It was taken out of a boat in 1947 and left in a farmyard until 2005. The farmer had every intention of using it himself but never got round to it. The usual rainy day project story! Turns out a friend of his has another which has also lain on a farm for seventy years. This one is still in a boat... well the remains of a boat. I'll have to go and take a look next time I am passing.

The first one has no internals (well piston and connecting rod) - hate to think how much getting those made would be!

I know where there's a 15 horse connecting rod, I could probably still claim it as my own (gave it into someone else's 'care'), though presume it's totally different size.
