Look for Kevin Donovan on the board here, he helped me out with my 400, did me right.

Just checked, Rupp Marine is still in business that n Florida.

Mike

Rupp at least used to live just west of Palm City, in the 80's and 90's. Used to see him flying a P51 often. Suffered a bird-strike with a buzzard and was still able to land safely and save the airplane. Also had a business making outriggers  and other equipment for sport fishing boats.

Mike

Definitely interested, I can come see it anytime convenient for you. Let me know when. Sent you an e-mail.

I have a  NOS wiring harness with the terminal block, can send a picture to your e-mail in the morning if you still need it.

And the Cross Country has lights so is street-legal, at least in some jurisdictions.

My 1976 400 across Country has the chrome baffle, as well.

Chicago Jerry Gakauskas did mine for me, shipped it to him, had it back in about 5 days. You can find him on the forum here. He has the original plans from Carl Cranke.

Mike

Jerry Grakauskas is the guy now, just had one done. Originated from a guy Carl Cranke, from what I was told. I can send you a picture of the new head profile if you like.

My 1976  Cross Country 400(April 76 build by the numbers) has three mount bolts, front, rear, and a smaller one bottom center just forward of the foot pegs.

I looked for one for a few months to replace the broken one on my 76 400 Cross Country, got responses from as far as Australia, was only able to find a used cylinder with the rusty and incomplete remains of one still installed, not a complete assembly. If you are looking for practical reasons, to make it so you can actually kick-start the bike( at 152lbs I just don't have enough ass for the task on the 400) contact Chicago Jerry, Jerry Grakauskas, on the forum or just google. He has an old-time machining plan to re-profile the combustion chamber in the head, makes them startable by a normal person. He is in Ohio, sent my head out, had it back in less than two weeks, UPS Ground shipping. He was highly recommended as the KTM motor build go to guy. I can e-mail you pictures of what part number f it looks like sticking out of the cylinder just above the intake if you like. Good luck on the quest, you might get lucky.
