Had a few guys email me about people who can repair the cases, many thanks for that. I do have a local guy who's successfully repaired them in the past for me. Usually it just knocks a lump out of the upper case, but this one is a heavy smash with cracks radiating out like a spiders web. The cracks run as far as the output shaft seal and involve both upper and lower cases. With the amount of welding required it is unlikely that the cases won't distort. I have decided to go with James's spare engine and part out the bits I don't need to help a bit with the cost. But the suggestions are most welcome.Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
That's good news Roy and sounds like a plan is forming. Looking forward to seeing the photos of the actual damage as it will likely help others when looking for a 750 and the pitfalls involved. Did the seller state the cases were damaged or was it just a case of 'Here's a barn find, non-runner, unchecked etc'?Good to hear this won't be one of those projects that stalls at the first hurdle, good luck with it and the rebuild thread will be a good read.
The left hand switchgear Roy, are you intending to get the UK version with the flasher/horn or the US version with just horn?I spotted this the other day https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224623350655?hash=item344c98537f:g:-wIAAOSwW4lhI5Eb Genuine switch, in decent condition, wires look good. That's if your going with the US version. Same seller has a lot of 750 stuff, take a look. What's wrong with the right hand one, you said the casting looks broken but it just looks like it's missing a screw to me. I do have some spare switchgear body parts so I might be able to help out. I'm also pretty good at refurbishing them.
