Base Fuel Tank Oil Pipe Set for RETROL HM-01 Hit and Miss Engine Model

Nice quality piece.
I think these are made of Teak with a red stain. So, very nice touch! I did a little drilling and sanding. Dust smelled like it.
So, I used cutting board oil on all the wood. Figured it's going to get oil and fuel sprayed about and this would look well, and it did!
The holes for mounting the HM-01 to this cradle were out of square slightly, but all lined up with drilling in the casting. Not horribly noticeable. I put a very slight wipe of silicone under the fuel tank. It moved a bit and kind of skewed the mounting straps. I'm left handed and I hold it from this end when pull starting. All fixed and no movement now. The box could be slightly larger, but it does fit everything I stuffed in there.
This is a very nice compliment to the HM-01

The Base Fuel Tank Oil Pipe Set for RETROL HM-01 Hit and Miss Engine Model is well made and is a good accessory for a working/display HM-01 engine. Glad to have also picked up the CDI ignition starter set.
