anyone got a dead hatz 1d40?

Hi, been going through the loft of the shed and stumbled accross the remains of a hatz 1d40, it is largely incomplete and extensively robbed for parts but if anyone out there has one that has one that has thrown a rod then I could build a runner out of my bits plus theirs. Thought I might as well ask in case something came up. I am based in Mid Wales uk but travel occasionally as far as York or Sailsbury areas.

You mean a 1B40 I think? Sorry, I've not got one kicking about.

Could well do, my data plate is kinda scrappy on it, combined with a missing flywheel and injector and it is a pretty sorry engine, but if I can find a thrown rod example I reacon it would be great in a bike, I have one on a road roller with hydraulics and it is great on fuel running a log splitter, and really good at starting, puts my ruggerinis to shame, and gives my Petter a fair run on ease of starting steaks, shame an 18hp Petter is so very big.
