Engine case repairs
« on: April 03, 2017, 10:44:50 PM »
Hi Guys,
I've got a cracked casing with a tragic previously bodged helicoil type insert that needs redoing and need a welding repair/ engineering genius in west lancs/ NW if poss.
Any recommendations or suggestions gratefully received as I really want to keep original if at all possible.
Many thanks.

There's a guy in Caerphilly who is good,quick and cheap (a rare combination) if that's any help.  He's a bike enthusiast whose owns a Vincent among others.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Thanks for the info.
That's a good 8 hr round trip from me so I'll keep looking local for a bit.
It may yet prove to be my get best course .
Thanks again.
