I agree Bryan and a relatively simple fix for some problems.

Laverda Dave:
I've used it and it works 👍

Thanks for the responses.

The repair kit requires engine removal, cleaning, then drilling and tapping a hole to accept the M10 insert? Whether it works will depend on the degree of damage to the case, which is not clear yet. However it is more than just a stripped thread, so some repair may be required first.

I have sourced some cases from Steve Cooper - https://www.400fourbits.co.uk/. There are two sets: one set can come with crank, bearings and rods for £175, or £120 for cases only; the other is cases only, requires the same repair that has been mentioned and goes for £85.

I think this might be the best route for me as I would have to get someone to do the welding and drilling for me and I’m sure that wouldn’t be cheap, if I can find someone.

I know on the CB750, the cases are matched but I can’t remember if they are paired with the crank; is it the same story with the 400? Can I just get the cases and then fit my own bearings and crank, assuming they are OK.
The engine number on this set is 1015*** while mine is 1084***; no problems here?

I’ve looked at Philpotts and the cost is £195 to rechrome the pair. DSS sell repro legs for £95. Anyone have any experience with these?
