Russel has asked me to post this on his behalf .
Remember these are sand castings and will need machine work ......they are not a bolt on fit. ;)

This makes me happy.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

How do we order one of these casings? Can the next casting be the 85 CR 500 clutch cover.

Awesome work KDX. Have you trial fitted one yet? Are they good to go? How do we go about getting one?

May I ask what the fitting problem is ? Too big or too small or other ? Is it rude to ask what sort of alloy is being used ?
