Looking to fit a simple aftermarket (aka cheap) on/off fuel petcock to the tank of the RD/SRX Project. I'm using the SRX tank but the existing outlet/petcock is beyond rescue. The snag is that the petcock bolt spacing on the tank is 45mm. Can anyone point me to something that could work?

This is mine and happy to answer questions!

While researching replacement oil pump cables I just discovered Tech Bulletin M8-015C in the library which describes two different oil pumps for 250/350 twins. What's not clear to me is which one do I have in my 1975 RD250 motor. I would assume the later model but can someone confirm? Is there a way to visually check?

I'll be honest bike electrics are a bit of a black box for me but I have a rudimentary grasp of the basics. Here's the question: for my SRX/RD project build (link below) can I use the regulator/rectifier from the SRX with the RD motor? My limited knowledge tells me yes but is there more to this that I should be aware of?

The oil pump on the 75 RD250 motor has this strangely shaped cover over the large washer behind the nut. I don't see it on the parts fiche. I can only think it just stops the knock pin from falling out. Is this correct?

Looking to sell a couple of bikes in the Spring so interested to hear opinions on the specialist sites:
Bring A Trailer
Iconic Motorbike Auctions
Rare Sportbikes For Sale

By the way the bikes going up for sale are:
2008 Aprilia RS125 (street legal)
2001 MZ Skorpion Sport Cup

Website still appears operational. I emailed Nick a few weeks ago about availability and heard nothing. Called today and it rang for ages ending in "Customer not available - try again later". No voice mail option.
Are they still in business?

Hi 2SW! Just re-joined the forum after a couple of years in the wilderness after I sold by GT750 & RD400 projects to fellow forum members. Thought you might be interested in this, my latest project. Picked up a 1987 SRX250 roller a while back. Brought back a RD250 motor from Barber VF this year and decided to do the transplant. So far so good!
