Hi and a Happy New Year to everyone
Well after having my Xmas present back in september which was a decoke and some new fuel pipes.
Have had nothing not much to do but to strip and rebuild the SS engine .
As with most things that are 45 years old when it breaks it breaks big time
As i was rebuilding the engine i stripped the threads in the engine casing oh f***
where do i go now remove engine remove bearing and get welded not on your life as i have spent the last 2 months in agony putting it back together. so on to the internet thingy to locate so Super Nano Alien Filler type stuff and bingo up it came with this jollop called Q Bond thought will have some of that at £19.00 a pop just a bit expensive but has got to be better than engine removal and partial strip.
Stuff arrived via parcel force. AM in garage read instruction and fill up hole
leave for a couple of hrs then drill and tap out 7 MM this gear is perfect
gone off like concrete just as hard to drill as aluminium you can File it Drill it Tap it . you can even Glue plastic things back together with out the filler material
job sorted engine case filled with oil no leaks test rode scoot for 10 miles sorted . Vespa now back on the rode ready for the warmer days or temps 15 degrees higher than today.
Repairs anything and comes recommeded by me it says on the box wait for it will repair bumpers radiators motor cycle fairings electric switches door handles clips distributor caps alumimun castings computors wheel caps water pumps it is petrol oil acid resistance etc etc etc looks like super glue and it comes with 2 lots of different coloured powders
so if any of you have got £19.00 spare after xmas iwould suggest that you invest in a box and shove it in the tool box for when you in the garage on a long dark winter nights and you decide to tighten up that 6 mm bolt that extra 1/2 a turn just before you come in for coffee after the News at Ten or the wifes banging on door asking how much longer because she wants to go to bed
for info just google Q Bond
