minislim Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 never heard of a REH 360? but John Burns of Motocross Motors developed one for the 32a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer58za Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've got a REH 350 (360?) barrel. It would appear that the villiers cases have to be machined larger to suit the larger liner. Can you send some pic's? Regards David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomike Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Robin Humphreys , REH , made some big alloy barrels to fit the villiers 37a around 1968 it was 250cc , it was an option on the late manufactured Bob Gollner, Cheetah`s. but there could have been a 350cc one ?. due to the large size and shape ,they got nicknamed, the dustbin !

Yes they look like a dustbin or soup pot. My 350cc barrel has "REH" stamped on the bottom I've posted some pics of the 250cc REH barrel and the Cheetah trials bike with the barrel fitted http://s215.photobucket.com/albums/cc198/f...Cylinder004.jpg http://s215.photobucket.com/albums/cc198/f...00-1844_IMG.jpg Regards David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minislim Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 this is my 360. its in a 32a bottom end due to the machining. the 37a cases dont have enough meat on them and the machining breaks through the sides. http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...ection4_JPG.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
