Does anybody know if there is such thing as a gearbox to run a single ic engine onto twin shafts?

Or can anybody recommend someone to build one?

Thanks

Ian,

I would think around 15-20cc, 4 stroke, poss even a zenohah 22cc. I seem to remember something about MHZ but are they around 300 quid?

175€ on their site, think that's around £120? I have no experience of these boxes but you can find more user info on them on the RCU gas forum from Matt (justaddwata).
I have dealt with MHZ, they are helpful and deliveries come when expected.
