Welding

Need a small bracket welded to the frame of my HP2E so that i can permantley locate my remote pre load.

Anyone in the Surrey (preferably Guildford area) who can knock me up a small bracket and weld it to the frame for me? (and not charge a fortune??)

Thanks

gazzbart off here, he's a welder. I could make it but it'll be rough and that a good day for me or thinga ma jigs in byfleet are very good ask for David they're Off Oyster Lane near the train station. Little engineering firm can make anything, bit like Goms in Woking use to be till they all died

Be very careful when welding frames. The bikes of today have a multitude of electronic circuits easy damaged by welding currents.
Can you not use a bracket and hydraulic pipe clamp similar to those shown in the link here.
I have some sizes available and there is a steel or stainless steel reinforcing that the valve bracket can be welded to (off the bike).
I have some sizes in black plastic and some in green plastic. All you need is the diameter of the frame member where it will be bolt around.

good point I was talking about making a frame clamp and bracket which the preload thing bolts onto not attach it directly to the frame cos it's bound to go wrong or be in the wrong place.

Timpo,

Now thats exactly what i was looking for!!

Diameter of frame is 20mm. Would i need one size smaller to ensure a tight fit or do they compress? Black would be good if one available, otherwise whatever you have thats fits. can you advise me of cost and will get that sorted ASAP

Cheers

Right, I have a 20mm in black here.
PM me a bracket diagram.

I think some of your measurements are out, the top whole looks like it says it's 8mm edge to centre of hole but the hole is 9mm ? theres something similar going on with the two lower holes ?

thought you should know
