Dough Mixer Bowl. A big one. Believe it or not this is actually fairly small.

Replacement would be north of £1200 last time I looked, if they're available. These are 30+ year old mixers (aka the best).
Most of the time they're not available so it's used bowls you have to buy. Still north of £500.
Repair. I don't know we are at 2.5 hours of grinding, drill, grind a bit more, jet wash a bit more crap out. That's £110 so far. They probably gonna be the wrong side of £300 by the time we finish

I've only tried them on an inverter, and had mixed results.
Might try a transformer welder to see if that makes a / any difference.
Out of curiosity.

I doubt there's much profit in making new ones from scratch. Especially with the prices of metal spinningMakes sense now lol, need to get into the dough bowl business I think

MX5's...... built to annoy you 
We have had it now for half a year and we really like it but I just should have given it a bit basic maintanence to be honest. Priority's...MX5's...... built to annoy you
Belt swap seems actually easy with very good acces.

They are actually very easy to work on but they do like throwing up issues. Being 20+ years old I suppose its not surprising. I'm in the process of putting a Turbo on my sons 1.8 NB which is truly an exercise in spacial engineering as there is not a lot of room to put everything in properly with clearance to allow for engine movement.
Good regular maintenance is the key. I can now do an engine change with my eyes closed

How about using the other half of that big old propane tank you have in the yard?

Are they spun or cast?
