Pete.
Totally agree with you what a word sandcast is but even though I do not nor want one all of a sudden 250 quid for a genuine seat is CHEAP.Now whats your restore worth?Bin bags and cutting corners now seem the way.My comments are not for you,you have sense.
What do you think?
Cheers

It's probably the same starter used in all the models, just happened to come out of a sandcast. Or is it visibly different?

After finding the rarity and exorbitant  prices for CB750K0 plastic bodied clocks after I bought my K0, when it came to buying a CB250K0 to restore (which also has plastic ones) I got slightly carried away !!  (see pic). Plus there are three more pairs of metal body ones not in the pic. Utter madness

And i wondered why i was always out bid on ebay when looking for a clock

Well spotted !!! CB250,350,CL350,SL350, some are CB450K metal ones. Enough there to make one decent set though for my 250SS and mechanisms are the same, just different faces.

I got them all from the same source, from a guy called Barry in Minnesota. I think he was a rep for years and scoured the USA for bikes during his normal day-to-day business and just stored them in lots of trailers /containers. Then a few years ago he sold all the rare stuff to fund a building to sell parts from. Most of the plastic speedos are well below sub 10k miles.  He threw in some CB500/550/750 larger ones too for free  but they were not in the best of condition and no plastic 750K0 ones!

Problem now is the cost of posting from the USA and custom charges . VAT etc. Just not really worth it any more, using 'standard' shipping methods.
