Singer fan

Anybody know what coating they use on the singer fan? It doesn't look like any anodizing I have ever seen and I would think they would use something better than regular old paint.

No A/C? I thought the Singers had a plaque on top of the engine.

Looks good. Is the fan powder coated?


I see, it's not finished no oil tank.

The car pictured is Singer "0" the first G series chassis prototype. The production version is pretty different

Singer Motors

Jae Lee builds the motors for Singer and he's on PP. If he doesn't see this, I can ask him since he does my work as well.

I think Mr Lee was at Cosworth before they quit doing the Singer engines.

Geof Ring and Colin Belton built the first few Singer engines, then Cosworth did the next few, Cosworth is apparantly out of business in Ca, Jae Lee worked for Cosworth and has since been building them

Tacobill,

The lower picture does resemble the Singer fan.
