Durafix Ali Welding Of Quadumph Clutch Cover

Took clutch cover of to look check plate thickness etc while bike is being worked on. Decided to see what was behind metal plate, just sound deadening foam. Tried to bolt it back on and torqueing to right setting it chewed thread. So decided to see what difference it makes without plate and foam. My idea is to shorten mounts for plate and then button weld them with Durafix welding rods and propane gas. never done this before so should be interesting to see what happens. managed to buy another clutch housing off e-bay just in case. be a few days before get bits and pieces but looking forward to seeing if it works. Note to self ` Stop being nosey and it will cause less damage and yes I am aware I have too much time on my hands.

 

Same here but thought would give a try. I`ve got to make undertray, oil catch tank and radiator overflow so fingers crossed it works and can make these myself. This whole project is about learning to do new things. Will upload pics once have given it ago. should have all parts to do it with in next week or so

 

I got 10 rods 300mm long for £3.59 on e-bay. Not very long but will do what i want them to

 

Very true they say they solder not weld. Should be Ok to button fill the mounts inside clutch cover and make undertray. Love to be able to afford AC/DC tig welder, did a course years ago at college, but very expensive. Be nice though one day to get a set, I enjoyed the process, found it quite calming

 

This is the item number, check it works 312999425071

 

There are plenty of other sellers on e-bay, so you should be able to get some similar price

 

Just had quick look and these are £2.99 + £1.99 postage so not much more than I paid

Not here till beginning of next month so will have to wait. Time to source Argon bottle and regulator. I know stop laughing at the back but about only way can get a ACDC tig welder. Fingers crossed it works.
Durafix rods didn`t arrive, well the package did but contents didn`t, good old Hermes

 

Gong to be interesting to see what arrives. Martek, Spondon eat your heart out. Just got to get a pipe bender from local plumber and will set up own frame making business Quad Frames could call. I can see it now world frame making domination

 

be interesting to see what arrives. AC/DC Tig welder for that price. Should be here bginning next month. be enough time to get money together for Argon gas bottle. Whether to get large bottle with gauges or disposable with gauges. Can`t wait to give it ago and see if it works
