Hardman marine eng australian approx 1960 not Simplex

[Ken Messenger]

" Does anyone have any info on these small twin cylinder side valve approx. 7-8 H.P. four stroke engines please? I have just aquired one in rebuildable cond. which has a cone clutch, and may have had internals for a planetary reversing arrangement- unfortunately previously removed. If the missing parts can't be sourced, does anyone have thoughts on a cost-effective alternative to create reverse? "

W.E. Hardman seems to have built engines from 1959 in 2 & 4 cylinder sizes.
Can't help with parts but have more information if you wish to contact me.
