Interesting project Ash, let us know how you get on. Have you bought the stock from www.cmsnl.com ?...Alan

Will keep you posted.. Already have the parts to copy from except the loom guide.
Will be out of action for 2 days so no posts from me guys.
Cheers... Ash

David Silver has emailed me saying he has not got the parts in line for repro and if I make some he will consider stocking them, so a bit of incentive :)
Another example of lunacy... still available for about 3 quid from Honda !! ..

Oh, Bertrum. Yes, he does a lot of this.
That said, I've been flogging 400F gear lever restoration kits, comprising shrouds and gear lever tips. DS will tell you the shrouds are unavailable, because that's what the parts computer says, but they are indeed available as separate items.

Yes I know .. They are the same more or less at CMSNL. I emailed him about a toolbox part the other week that was an astronomical price and he said he had ordered it from DSS but it was out of stock so he put a massive price on it on eBay so that nobody would bid. Is that the way to run an online business plus he is supposed to be a fellow 400/4 owner. There is also a main Honda dealer in Hull selling cam chain guides on eBay for more than Honda sell them new and theirs are NOS. We are already dubbed a a 'crap' town (which we are not) but these kind of people just fuel the fire.
Took the two brackets off my 400/4 last night to measure up and the 'bu**er was saying .. please please use me again :'( so it will happen in the spring, when all of my other resto's are due to be completed. I have played hunter-gather for too long now :-[
Cheers.. Ash
