What a mess......

The Pepco motor was opened yesterday to look inside and see what had occurred.
But as you can see it wasn't a pretty sight!
The crank snapped and started to move inside the case, subsiquently the pulley has eaten into the front of the case and destroyed it. On closer inspection of the case, we believe we know why and how the problem occurred.....

As we have good "standard mains" 30hp cases lying around The Professor will use one of these as a starting point to work his alchemy and rebuild the Pepco motor ready for Le Mans next year, producing more hp and reliability ;-)

We will keep you posted.......
