Hi CR21,
Nice work so far,
I'm building my CR replica here in the UK.
Had a bit of a break but I'm back on it now.
I have the Asa Moyce tanks as well, they are nice bits of work...worth the wait.
Do you know what type of fuel tap works with that tank, I have been told its from a Honda motorcross but cant seem to track one down.
Also what are you thinking of doing for a front mudguard / fender.
Regards Keith

welcome back, captaink! i was wondering how the rickman was coming along.
philward:
The fuel tap that Meadspead advised me was from a CR250 motocrosser - I got one from an Australian seller (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CR250-80-07-GXMOTOR-FUEL-TAP-PETROL-TANK-PETCOCK-/141756762924?hash=item21015c8b2c:g:Yj0AAOSwTapV3XhE). The original is a twin exit tap but you will have to search the .net site for that - don't know if they are available (H2eric on the ,net site got hold of one I seem to remember when reading a thread) - depends how for you want to go.
Its not a priority at the moment for me but the Bartel (Asa Moyce) tanks tap flange bolt holes are not 'blind' and so will need some effective thread sealing to prevent leakage via the thread on the bolts

The Rickman engine is complete and I plan to put it in the frame in a week or so.
I've done a bit on the CR in the last few weeks
I purchased another 1977 engine and stripped it to the bones, this has now been aqua cleaned and after accessing the work required I'll be sending it up to the engine man for machining.
The present thought is inspect crankshaft and either polish journals or regrind, new shells for the crank and rods.
As before I have got a big bore kit 836cc and it will be rebored to suit.
Head will have new APE valve guides, valves and springs.
APE casing and cylinder studs.
I also purchased another set of casings, cylinder, head and rocker cover to use as a dummy which will allow me to carry on with the project whilst the engine man Dave from D & M Engineering is doing the machine work.
Pictures show the clean but dummy engine.
