There are several sources for new, blank cases.

THEY AIN'T CHEAP!

More importantly what are they? Big or small bearing? Dynamo or alternator? oil seal or not?
Ones to go for are big bearing with oil seal and alternator

I got blank cases on mine, but the numbers mayhave been rubbed off. My neighbor bought a unit with blank cases except for the Triumph Logo stamped on them. I don't know how that thing ever got titled, there is no number on his frame either.

I would like to land on a set of his magnesium cases and a Nourish crank/rods. Anyone want a nice stock pre-unit bottom end, with unit crank and rods? Heheheeee. Wait till I lay in a few thousand bucks into my funbike fund for the upgrade.

The '68 Bonnie restoration I did last year had an unstamped set of '69 spec cases on the lump. It probably had blown out the bottom end and been rebuilt with new cases sometime in '69.

(oops, cases are spoken for)

No, the owner is doing a straight swap with the guy that's providing the new cases.
