Carl,
It would be quite a big project but if someone made a run of 1984 CR250RE waterpump housings out of alumnium i'm sure they could make a fortune

What do you think a billet housing would sell for??
I can get them made no probs but to just make one will cost too much.

Also if any one has a case I can borrow so it can get it modeled it would help save a bit as they are $250 + for a rooted one as I don't really want to pull mine apart

Hey Rookie. These tanks appeared on the works Kawasakis at the 1979 Trans USA and were used throughout 1980. The spark plug "dent" reference is to a photo caption from Motocross Action in 1980. Trevor Williams SR440 had one of these tanks. I think his split open a few times. Below is an example on Jeff Ward's bike at the 1979 Anaheim Supercross.

Just yesterday I was listening to a very interesting story on ABC radio about 3d scanners/printers and all the associated technology. They can "print" in a variety of materials, and the prices are getting cheaper even as the technology gets more advanced.

That's a cool lookin bit of kit Rod, in the unlikely event I ever stumble across one I shall keep you in mind! Have you considered taking some pictures of this item to a pro fibre glasser along with some mounting dimensions to see if they could replicate it from eye? There will be a gell coat to match so colour won't be an issue, yeah it might cost $1000 or so to get it made but if such a rare item ever came up for sale I can't imagine it selling for much less that! Plus that item will be in "as is" condition and not new.
Just a thought.

Cheers, Brendan

Last week on one of those horrible commercial TV current affairs programs they made a gun using one of these 3D computers and actually fired it. Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' is fast becoming a reality.
