The Bracket Factory
Registrace 18. 02. 2023
Here at The Bracket Factory, we build lots of brackets for lots of projects, but there will ALWAYS be an engine involved. Could be big, could be small, could be 2-stroke, could be 4-stroke, could be old, could be even older, but never boring !!

zhlédnutí 3,7KPřed 28 dny
I've taken the plunge and bought the 'heart' of my next project - an American La France v12 engine... My plan is to fit this engine into a pre-war chassis - perhaps a vintage Rolls Royce, Bentley, or Daimler. But first I'll see if I can get the engine running..... Join me on my journey, it should be fun! Big thanks to Bryan at Oakswamp - check out his channel.. czcams.com/video/4qPXkC0deZM/vide...

New subscriber here 👍 Collect my rd500 this weekend 😁..giddy is an understatement!! I have a special rd350lc and I’m keen to learn about these engines as I’m a beginner to all this..I find the videos very interesting and informative..cheers jase
Thanks for subscribing! If you have any questions, just ask!!
I like your style
This is going to be an interesting project, trolley looks strong, but you may need Eddie Hall to pull or push trolley, once the engine is on the trolley 🙂
I have a secret weapon... Bryan and his dumper truck!
Lovin the Swamp and Bracket combo! Been watching you both hanging out and lovin it! This project is very exciting, but so are your other projects that I need to catch up on!
Glad you are liking it Boyd, we are too...Lots more shenanigans to come ....!
love what u have done, such a great work. 🎉
Thanks!
Subbed!
already looking forward to the "Will IT Start" video..c'mon then
me too, I can't wait to get stuck in !
Just discovered your chanel - nicely put together videos and your mechanical talents a joy to watch. Thank you.
Thanks!
subscribed !
Thanks!
Cool coloration on the cat!
He's a Bengal... and a very nosey cat!
That trolly is a work of art in its own right 👏
Cheers Tom - tempted to put an engine in it !!
@@thebracketfactory Definitely need to after you've used it!
It looks tough enough
I hope so! Time will tell....!
Absolutely loved the bomb dolly road test sequence. -. and that beautifully marked Bracketcat. 😻
We had fun doing that bit!
You and Brian certainly do seem to have some fun. I think you’ll need more than protein powder on the next episode though. Nice Yamaha…! Les
Yeah, I do hope Bryan has been hitting the weights like we agreed ;-)
oh and the little Yamaha is a YJ2....
fresh air to the welding helmet-- I like that. beautiful cat.
The fumes off welding are horrible... I found out the hard way so that helmet is a godsend ..!
great stuff.. looking forward to seeing how we are gonna lift that monster on it ! 😁
You lift it.... I'll push the trolley under. Teamwork!
Dolly on the trolly !!!
Should have had her eating a lolly....!
@@thebracketfactory now there's no need for that kind of rudery🙂
Love the final stage exit right with Miss Bracket +1 ,that surely is a bomb carrier for Big Bertha haha.
we had a laugh doing that shot! Despite the slow speed, it was quite hard to stop (no brakes!!!)
It's not until you see the trolley compared to the monster you see why you need all that strength. Nice work.
Beautiful attention to detail. My small-block Mopar engine and Torqueflite auto was delivered on the bottom half of a supermarket trolley with 2 hunks of 4 by 2 RHS welded across it. No comparison, really; but it did the trick!
Thanks Brent! I'm itching to get stuck into the motor!
Fantastic stuff!
FOMOCO Ford motor company as they bought them over.
A Masterclass!
....in mucking around ;-)
@@thebracketfactory You two should have a TV series ...
It looks bombproof! I keep thinking of The Beast of Turin when I see the La France.
well actually I'm thinking of the Delage V12 as my inspiration for this build - after all, it is a 'French' car!
@@thebracketfactoryOoo! That’ll be nice..
Napier Railton?
Trolley looks great looking forward to seeing the v12 in it ,great fabrication, we're you trained in fabrication as your standards are top notch
Thanks! No formal training but lots pf practice!
Gussettastic
Good job ❤
Cheers !
Thanks
Thanks Lance .
Thanks
mine is kawasaki krr 150cc 2stoke 😅
Can't wait for this one. Fabulous project engine.
Thanks - I'm making decent progress on the 'trolley' and itching to get stick into that engine!
Ditch the music!
yeah, will do next time. Thanks for watching.
Transporter for all your cars ?
oooh - I'd not thought of that!
@@thebracketfactory make use of all those cubes!
Put it in an Austin 7 chassis. They'll all say it can't be done. Prove them wrong :) Will be interesting to see what you do do with it.
Hmmm... now there's a thought!
“Robert’s your Relative……”
and fanny's your aunt! More antics coming soon!
The seller sure has an interesting accumulation. How does a fire wagon get from Iowa Fall, Iowa in mid USA to a small town in the south of England? There's a story in that somewhere. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
it his certainly a long way from home! (but it has a good new home ;-).
Wow, amazing, will certainly be watching how this develops, I rebuilt a few jaguar V12 engines,
Thanks for tuning in!
Does that engine qualify as an aero engine since it was built at the lycoming plant ? A stretch I know , I'm trying to help you out.
haha - afraid not... though the dual ignition systems gives that 'aero' feel! I'm planning to 'add lightness' to it by changing the manifolds so I hope it will look quite aero in the end (if it works!)
As a yank firefighter I am looking forward to your Brooklands Racer Special, or at least that is what I would put that engine in.
we're on the same page ! I'll be going to the Brooklands museum fairly soon to get some 'inspiration' !
Thanks
That horizontal valve arrangement and super long rocker arms is quite unique!
unusual isn't it - and I like unusual!
Hey , send all that stuff back over here to America , we're running out !
haha - we need more of it!
Nuts! Totally nuts! It’s going to be interesting though. How you going to run that on batteries when the ‘EV Revolution’ is forced on us? Les
can't wait to start the beast!!
Looking forward to the next video!
I hope you liked it!!
Splendid!
you will probably be able to hear it start from yours!
Looking forward to this one. 😊
did you see episode 2?!
Something epic this way comes! I just hope Bryan isn't eying it up to put in the dumper truck, lol.
I wouldn't put it past him!!
Can't wait to watch this build, should be epic!
hope you liked Ep.2?!
I did, always impressed with the standard of your workmanship even on an engine cradle. All the best.
Hey I know Derek he is in the next village, had many a natter with him. What a character he can spin a good yarn or two, make a great episode right there. He has .LOTS of interesting kit He made the ''Le Monstre '' replica Cunningham Cadillac 1950 Le Mans car. That was a surreal experience seeing that coming the other way down our narrow country lanes around here and me in a '63 Ford Galaxie sheesh that was a tight squeeze !!. The La France would look good using a lorry chassis with replica Edwardian body a la Goodwoods S F Edge trophy races..
He's a great bloke and currently out in the USA in Le Monstre!
Going to be fascinating
Do you sell that bracket for the power valve cables that attaches to the YPVS servo motor? I'm in the process of building a YZR500 replica as well.
