I can't believe the price of the repro ones £78  :'( and I seem to have a stack of them with fin damage and can't really justifying charging the customer that kind of £££. It is only a fin repair but, they are so thin that I have never tried to repair one before. I seem to have a bit of time on my hands today because the other half has taken over my engine building room so, decided to have a go. Bloody tricky but, I was pleased with the result.

Looks good. Have you built them up with alloy weld and ground down etc?

If they are the ones you tried to look like sandcast ones then NO  ;D How bad are they ?

hairygit:
Question is, how long start to finish did it take you? Then obviously multiply the time taken by you average hourly rate, electricity and consumables used, wear and tear on welder etc, and what does it cost versus buying a replacement? I know restoring items can be satisfying, but you are a business so time is money, was it financially viable?
