FROM PUB CHAT TO RACE TRACK

REVERSE ENGINEERING WITH A 3D PRINTER

Former Ducati race mechanic, Guy Taylor, is rebuilding Tony Rutter’s infamous Ducati 750 TT. The very one that Rutter crashed at Montjuich Park, Spain in 1985, effectively ending his racing career. But there is a problem, Guy hasn't got a carburettor to finish the bike. Damaged in the accident, this bespoke part is not something you can pick up off the shelf or order on ebay.

**Updates on this Project**

Following the successful prototype run, featured in the video, the carburettor is now being 3D Printed in metal.

In the coming months we will be putting the final manufactured part to the test round the track. Come back here or follow us on YouTube and Twitter for regular updates.
