Here is the frame with the YZ tank and an MX seat that has extra foam for a YZ look.  Got the YZ arm and a trick chain tensioner too!

NOS RT2MX? Great find my friend. The RT2MX engine I got from the USA a year or two ago is still on usable original bore but NOS is cool. Back in the early 90's a fellow racer gave me a NOS RT1 GYT cylinder which now has pride of place in my Cheney.

Slowly gathering more pieces.  Just got YZ wheels and axles.



Still need a '75 YZ or MX rear backing plate, but wondering if a '79 YZ one will work?

You want a 74/75/76  YZA/B/C....250/360/400 or MX250/400B backing plate Red.....there's plenty out there in USA ebayland. The MXB ones will probably be the cheapest.....they are all magnesium. Cheers.

I don't like the mag front backing plate, it's bloody annoying when the fragile little cable adjuster boss invariably breaks. I stick with the sturdy aluminium version, the weight difference is bugger-all. The rears don't have any problems that I've noticed.

I stumbled across some real treasure lately.

NOS YZA clutch cover



NOS YZA triple clamps





I was going to use an MX250 lower clamp with a YZ100 upper, but now I have the real deal.  I am really excited about the clutch cover!  Now the RT-2MX motor will have a nice YZ360A look.

have a DT1 based motor with one of those covers on--always look at it & think, how sad,--sad i don't have the rest of it bugger it!! God i remember the days of when we got a 250 & 360 as redundant stock at work. One guy at work bought the 360A & a local bought the 250A [i'm crying  now]. I'm sure 'that' 250 sold for $800. Have a second cover that's been welded 30 odd years ago but needs a fair bit taken of it to become flat. Think it's welded on the lower left 1/4 by memory.

I've got a YZ cover too but can't figure how to pour oil into the DT1 engine when it's fitted? The oil hole is in the cover on the DT1 and in the case on the YZ....or am I having another old guy moment and missing something obvious?

Does the Jones Mag cover have the oil filler hole?
