The earliest version of the Space Bug crankcase had a bronze sleeve.
These lasted from 1951 to roughly mid-1953

Mud, if you put that case(shiny object) on a hook, I'd hit it like a barracuda.

The more i think about it, that wouldn't work either, the SB's case would have to be smooth, no threads.[/quote]

I have an extra I can send you.
It's not perfect, but should display well.
Do you need just the case, or a crankshaft and drive plate?
P.M. me your address.

Hey folks. Here's where I'm at. I spent a few years seeking out the parts for this project and I'm
elated by the help I've gotten. The rarest and most impossible parts were gifted to me, and that's
quite humbling. I had to pick myself off the floor after receiving some of them. Thanks to
my compassionate friends here.
I hope to put the finishing touches on her this weekend, and maybe introduce her to the test stand.
Beware, tiny fib here, more later.

Interested in the fib. What could you have possibly held back? I have a clearance...
