Welding on a crank?

[speights_bud]

what sort of prices are they? Im having my crank fixed up for 200 cash thats metal sprayed and machined ( I hope they dont fill the key way in! )

Probably about 200 or a little more just for the welding

Welding on a crank is possible, but not advisable due to heat distortion/alteration of the hardness/brittleness of the metal. It can be successfully done though. Machining likewise. Cost is a whole different ball game. You need engineers that know what they are doing, not think they know what they are doing.

wot he said .. seen it done ... by experts ...

So i finally got my new after market stator regulator and flywheel, and im Stoked with the quality of it! and i got annoyed that allll the bike shops local to me where busy or would charge a fortune to seperate the webs, so i bought a press and have separated it myself





the press was only 200 bucks brand new, I wont complain with that, My work shop(backyard one ) is ever expanding, but i never thought to get one of these haha

The next trick, pressing back together right.
I was always told to square a nick, on the end of the crank throws, heat the crank throws, re square the line and press quickly.
Seems to work pretty well.

Not quite the next trick, I first have to see why my flywheel isnt fitting right, it sits around 6mm below the threads so will never be able to be tightened/locked into place, so they may have sent me the wrong kit, which will be another annoying months wait
