No, everything is different in size. Crankcases, studbolts, etc. You can swap DS7/R5 parts with RD250/350 (but not RD400 as it has a long stroke crank).You can only use the pistons/rings. But who wants used pistons when you are restroring a bike? Normally it never functions well.

Great!

Can you send me your name and address by e-mail? Then I will try to find an old clutch cable that might be useable, a new one is too hard too find I reckon.
