JBWeld is your friend. Kneadit has good rep too. Talk to Mr WINJA he's somewhat of an expert (seriously)

engineering shop.. I have a couple to get repaired too... Tell them to make it a big fat hunk of steel so you can get a few slides out of it.
I was underwelmed when I tried epoxy on just a crack, the pressure blew the epoxy off, and it leaked. Bad idea.

Nah kneadit is a bit too dogy for a race bike.

So can either of you reccomend a good shop to get it done at? I dont mind sending it around the country.

You could give these folk a ring.

F1 engineering do them quite regularly, $30 dollar minimum charge, but he wouldn't give an estimate over the phone without seeing the piece.
I will take my two in there over the next couple of days, and see what they charge. He reckons they do them for a lot of bike shops etc, so it has to be cheaper than 260 odd for a new one!
their number is 0-7-847 6990

If it is that... I have a spare one... its a bit scratched but still perfect for use. Also if it is that, you can buy them new for about $50 (what I paid for my new one on TradeMe) And you get order the gasget from Mt Eden Cycles for $15

Ok I know it is not a repair and is doubtless more expensive, but there was a guy offering heavy duty alternator covers with sliders on tardme not long ago.

Did you check out the ones I told you about the other day?
