i think this is a great idea. i have a right side case half that i am pretty sure is still in great condition. i will have to dig it out of the shied and check. but if you need it let me know.
New Case Halfs
Hey guys, I brought the topic of manufacturing new case halfs awhile back since we all know that at some point the supply of oem honda ones will be gone. Well I've gotten the equipment i needed to copy the oem ones, so here is where i am at.
I am in the process of talking to casting companies to try and determine the cost, and the amount of cases that would be required. I am still trying to determine the feasability as well as the demand for them. So if i was able to reproduce them would people be interested?? I would also get with C-Leigh Racing to discuss the possibilites of strengthening known weak points, would you guys be interested in these?? I'm just trying to gauge interest before i invest too much money and time.
So if this project does continue i will need a couple of people to volunteer case halfs that i can 3-D image. What i need are a left half and a right half. I know that some of you guys have undamaged ones laying around. I realize that you will be shipping them to me based on faith, and if there are any concerns or if you are interested please PM me. All I am trying to do is make sure that these machines live on.
So if you guys have any input please feel free to email me [email protected], PM, or post here. Any help or comments will be appreciated.
I am also working on getting examples of what the 3-D scanner can do. When i get these examples i'll be sure to post them.
Thank you for your time.

just an idea. what if the cases were cast so that you can run a big bore cylinder with out having to send the case back out to get remachined to except them. then you can run a big bore or stock cylinder. just an idea
the only real difference is that the cases got thinner as the years progressed ie 86 thicker than 89
quick change clutch cover great idea
i am still looking for my right side case half i seem to have misplaced it if you still need one i can go looking again.
however i did find all those missing parts i had to rebuy.

I appreciate it man. If you let me know the cost and give me an adress i can send you a check to reimburse you for the shipping cost. I really appreciate your help in this endeavour.
Are there any left case halves out there???
don't worry about it it was only a few bucks.
just let me get first crack at buying these cases when they get made
