Not long before we went to Aus I dropped the Gassa off a bank and managed to damage the exhaust mountings.
These being a super light weight machine (69kgs) means there's less than fark all holding anything to anything. Once one bracket breaks the rest start to go with it.
I have exhausted my list of contacts. Turns out I don't know anyone that can weld alloy.
Anyone have any contacts in Hamilton??

Re: Alloy welding on my Gas Gas in Hamilton
I used supreme sheetmetals in frankton to do some alloy welding on a cracked gearbox. Job was good. They didn't do beer payment type work though unfortunately, just cash. Guy I dealt with was Mark. Got recommended there when I lost my alloy welder contact

Re: Alloy welding on my Gas Gas in Hamilton
I have AC/DC pulse tig, but I is in Welly so not much help, do have a contact in Rotorua if you get stuck, Keith is a craftsman welder and is doing a alloy boat at the moment.
