I would clean both joint surfaces with brake cleaner,
Use a good adhesive, something that lists metal,
Apply to break as per instructions,
Leave in a warm place and see what happens,
There is hardly any load on it,
If it does stick, you might want to reinforce by drilling tiny holes down through the break, fill the holes with glue and push small pins in the holes,

I'm definitely with John Webley on that one. Some pinned reinforcement if there's space and original Araldite - not rapid version. Leave to harden as said, somewhere warm for a few days (and then go back and collect the pieces 🙈). No, seriously it's worth a try.

Just for info, I’m currently looking into getting some made, we’ve a blank being offered soon from a pattern one that was submitted to a chsp abwhilevago. Not sure on time lines but it sounds promising.

You must be good at Quizes & Cryptic Crosswords Johnny.😂 not sure what it says about me the fact that I understand double Dutch!🤣

If you send the part to me I could take it to Brian, the guy who does alloy welding for me. He may be able to weld it although obviously as it's cast there will be no guarantee it will be successful and you may get a blob of alloy in return but if all else fails and you need it urgently there's nothing to loose.
I'm going over to Brian in the next few weeks to get a part for the poxy Triton altered.

Soon as I know I’ll let you know, not sure yet but he’s doing one in brass first to see if it’s doable rather than casting. Not sure if it’s economical or not but I’ve got one lurking somewhere if you need one, I’ll have a look later as in the shed of dreams putting the thermostat on the VFR.

All great suggestions Johnny especially if Roo's getting some made.

I'd favour this as most likely to succeed, soak in solvent first then ultrasonic clean would have good chance of cleaning it and avoid contaminated structure to weld.
Always a risk of course until the welder can attempt decent trial.
Can be done, worthwhile to at least have a go.
Manufacturing one, Duralamin would be my first choice from a machining and final materials specification.

If you translate the expression "Out of sight - out of mind" into Russian then have the Russian translation changed back into English you end up with "Disappearing Lunatic".

But I must add that I have a used one on the way thanks to NJ AND T. Takes the pressure off the repair job, but will still be perusing a repair on the broken one.

I’ve used them before and they are pretty good.

Worth a try though if you have them anyway and you have a spare on the way and hopefully Roo will go into full mass production with his new ones👍

The go to guy around here who can weld any metal especially alloys is Badfoot Customs. Check out his Facebook page, a metal genius.Just checked out Facebook, that’s some impressive repairs!
Post by: Johnny4428 on March 08, 2024, 07:59:46 AM
Only just re-read one of your posts Johnny, I have an ultrasonic bath if you want to go down that road first. That might stop you being able to have it welded later though if it fails.Thanks Ian!
Shout if you need it.

Unless I've missed it what "Glue" did you use Johnny?
Just the normal Arldite Ted, not the rapid stuff, as recommended.
