Hi,
Struggling to find someone to tig weld an aluminium scooter engine crankcase locally ?
It's a Honda scooter I bought privately for my wife, the centre stand was seized and it was only when I tried to remove it that I saw it had been repaired before and was weeping oil probably as a result of me trying to get the centre stand off, I'm no welder but it doesn't look like a great repair to me and seems to be a mixture of some kind of weld and some kind of epoxy.
I've no desire to ever put the centre stand back on, can these be successfully welded at all as I'd prefer to keep the bike because otherwise it's decent ?
I think I've attached some pics of the damage which show the crack hopefully.
Would really appreciate any suggestions on recommended places/people ?
Cheers
