Hi There,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here.
I have this Mills 0.75 replica but have very limited knowledge about Mills Diesels.
It came in an Irvine Box but I'm not sure if it's actually an Irvine.
I was of the understanding the Irvine engines were all made with black crank cases.
Don't think it is a Gordon Burford Mills, but was advised it was a Ivor F. Doonside Mills.
http://modelenginenews.org/cardfile/m75.htmlAccording to the URL it states that the Irvine Mills had a thread on the fuel tank to stop the Tank from "Running away". My tank has no threads.!
Another thing is that according to that same link, the Doonside Mills had a little pin in the case to prevent the Cylinder liner from moving when the head was tightened.
My engine seems to have that little pin too!
I've attached photos of the Engine, with box and instructions which came with it.
I don't think the box and instructions go with the engine though!
So the evidence so far points to it being a Ivor F. Mills.
Can anyone help confirm it's heritage?
