Try Moorespeed/Richie Moore he did a repair for me , cut off the damaged stub and welded in a new one. A very well done job by a true engineer.

They’re out. Pete 1 BMW design engineers 0. If they’d given the rubber mount a a couple more mm height of metal in the base, I could’ve got a pair of moles on them. Instead, I had to tear off the rubber, hacksaw a slot and chisel them round until they were sufficiently proud to get the moles on them! Hey ho.
Quick question for them as knows: do I replace the head races now or leave it until the frame has been powder coated? It's probably 6 and half a dozen, but you never know ...
Leave till after BUT make yourself up Plywood discs to completely fill that hole top and bottom!
where the bearing outer sits or ask whoever is doing the powder coating to make sure its is blanked off Also Your swingarm pin thread and any threaded insert in the frame where a bolt will screw in
or you are going to have to grind it all off to get the outer bearing cases in there
or rethread every single threaded bit
paint 1 Plastic coating ZEEEEROH
My question about the races was really re any possible damage done to the coating after it’s done.
The number of people who "thought" that and then you see them looking for taps to rethread those bits
The bearing seat and tube needs to remain free from plastic coating or you will never get the bearing in and if you do it will all pack up under the bearing cup and it will never get down to its proper seat
They are a tight fit and unless you have the proper tools a total ballix to get them out
My favoured method is a spin of MIG around the casing and it falls out when it cools
Outers in a plastic bag in freezer and carried to garage in a towel to keep temps lower and tap them into place with my drift
Peter,
Do you go to Pentland Powdercoating at Lasswade ? I find Chloe Renwick very helpful ?
Bob.
Thought die was Welsh rather than Scottish!
A wee bit of elbow grease and the collector box looks a bit better. No holes yet. It’ll be a good fall back for whatever other option I decide on.
Yup. The very one!
