Brian,
would you be he supplier of the said "very nice manual on the RAT"? Anyone who knows anything about his machine or others in existence please pass the info along or invite folks to make contact. Yes Jon it is a simple project, I just need to keep my priorities in focus.

Like a giddy school kid I couldn't wait for my working day to end in Guelph yesterday and take advantage of the fact I would be passing Brian Asbury's shop on my way home, his teaser of a manual being available had filled my head with fantastic images like a child thinking of sugar plum cakes near Christmas.
When I arrived at Brian's place there was a trove of other gems awaiting purchase and we dealt with that first. All the time I was imagining what generation copy of a manual he had. We finally retired to his office and he passed it to me and I was shocked. It is an original bound manual covering both operating and maintenance and parts all rolled into one with some very explicit cutaway drawing of various parts and good simple explanations. The covers are a work or art and the rear has an embossed set of track imprints curving towards the spine. Brian is going to have two copies of the manual made, one for me to use in the shop and the other for his library. So while I have touched the manual I will not get to digest it until the post office delivers it in a week or so. Once again, thank you to Brian Asbury aka BCA on this forum and I look forward to my early Christmas present.

Through the normally vacuous medium of the dreaded Facebook I have been dealt another gem in the form of contact with a former CF mechanic who worked on these who dropped me a line and his phone number.
When I have time tonight I will try to call Don Chisolm and see what he has to say. I feel blessed almost

That one Ed has no engine, it was removed because it made it too heavy for easy handling in the museum I am told.
