Have you an engineering issue with your motorcycle?

Timpo · Sep 30, 2008

Have you an engineering issue with your motorcycle and you are struggling to find a solution?

There have been numerous horror stories posted on this forum, of broken studs, stripped threads, cracked frames/casing etc, this has prompted me to offer some engineering remedies to the issues you may have.

I have the use of a wide variety of machine tools and can offer solutions for many problems you may encounter:-

Lathe and milling machining

AC/DC TIG welding

One off fabrication

Stud extraction

Hybrid and modification jobs can also be catered for

PM me a description of the problem, along with some photos, and I let you know whether I can help.

I am based in Cheshire, 6 miles North from Chester.

Good idea. :thumb2

I'm pretty much self-sufficient but would be good to know if you'll charge by the hour or an an agreed price once you've looked at the job in question?

Not an engineering solution as such, but amongst your various tools, would you have some type of shot blasting cabinet? I'd like to clean up a stripped down airhead gearbox casing. Happy to pay of course (I'll even pay if you let me have a go :thumb2

), and of course I'll bring a packet of biscuits for dunking purposes).

Worth a try!

Cheers, W

Is anyone capable of cutting me a nice tidy 11.5cm diameter disc from a 3mm Ali plate. I could post it to you and include a few bob for return postage.

I'll do it later in the year if no one else will, hampered by a broken collarbone & impending garage extension at present.
