If I reel one in I will compare and see.
For some reason I think we did compare them at one time but we'll see :-o

at the moment are them hard to find. there are 2 or 3 250 outer covers on ebay,
but i need the inner cover for measurements to make the 500 conversion kit ...
aaaand i can bolt it directly without changes to the 87 250 engine. :-D as i fixed my 87 tranny last week i also found out, that the inner clutch gasket is the same 87-96 that gives me some options for the 250.

It seems to me that the kx250 inner clutch covers were too short but I should know on Monday as I have set the hook on a 89 kx250 :-D

Perfect, I always have "feeling" it could fit a K5 :-D

i dont think that the inner 250 cover would fit directly to the k5 without mods for waterpump and governor drive and the k5 kickstartshaft is also bigger diameter than 250 , but without a try we never will find out ... :-)
my thinking was to use the outer 250 cover and making cuttings on the right places to weld the cutted ring of the 88-91 250 to the k5 clutch housing and we can bolt on the 250 outer cover to the k5 .
without destroying one of the rare 88-91 250 inner cover could the needed weld on adapter copied without cutting and only measure the location of bolt holes and diameters. with the right tool on pc could made a program with the needed dimensions for a cnc-mill , find the right mashine shop and we have it... the outer cover could be easily copied with the cnc- mill . (or maybe a 3d-printer?? :wink:)
and like i said: at the moment i run a little bit out of my possibilities and it would give a very long session to make this adapter by hand in my garage. there is nothing that not could be made. it needs only time , money , the right material and gives lot of fun.
