    Alloy welding in Wellington?

    I've got a flywheel cover off a DRZ400 which has had a encounter with a tree.

    It was previously welded up (very averagely) and still leaked a bit. A resin was put on the inside what didn't stick to the ally properly (Chips off). So i figure i'll get it welded up properly.

    Any suggestions for a cheap, good ally welder in Wellington/Lower Hutt?

    Cheers
    Kyle

    Have you priced up a new cover mate?...sometimes they're not that steep. I'll price one up for you tomorrow if you haven't already.

    I found one on Ebay in the US for 100$US + shipping, what was an option.
    But the hole isn't massive and probabaly isn't far off not leaking, so i figured i'll try do something before i spend that kind of money.

    But if you have some time tommorow that would be great! Its a DRZ400E 04' Cheers mate!

    You can get them alloy-brazed up too, and then take to them with the belt sander and they come up pretty good.
