Also met up with a CR guru and purchased these bits:
Sand-cast side cover and fuel tap:
Venhill '888' quick action throttle:
The side cover is just a rough casting so needs a lot of loving, however apparently they were pretty poor when supplied new in the kit in the 1970s. I will trim off the gates and sprue, fly cut a face seal and drill for bolting on. I would like to CNC my own one of these but that will have to go on the back burner for now.
The fuel tap, is ready for bolting on! I am still going to machine one of these though.
And the throttle, its a starting point. I will either run this as-is but stripped of the anodising, vibro-polished add with some period fastenings. Or I am going to make a new throttle as a replica of the original kit style one.
Cheers

Hi Kawa, its works and looks well, but I just dont think it looks period enough for the CR...
Anyway, super quick update:
To fit the GL1000 filler cap I need to make up a filler cap bezel to weld to the oiltank.
Mocked one up in CAD, and sent it to print yesterday:
The reason for printing this is to test the design against the compression of the spring, before committing to turning/milling one in aluminium. Update on the fit tomorrow!
Cheers
