Crap metal repair

Post by bluestoesonnose »

Does anyone have a repair method for the monkey metal that lock barrels are made from? I've got a worn lug on mine and I'd like to be able to repair it.

Cheers

There was an article in either Classic Motorcycle mechanics or Practical Sportsbikes a couple of months ago about repairing Jap bike locks. I will dig it out for you and scan it up.

Re-reading your post, I don't know whether this will be of any use to you mate, but as promised I have scanned the article from the June 2012 issue of Practical Sportsbikes mag -

I'm not sure what has happened to them Paul, but I'm amazed you and Kev L mentioned it, I imagined no one took any notice of them. Obviously I was wrong :)

I have a feeling this has happened before quite sometime ago. I think they came back on their own. If they don't I'll either have a Honda T1000 Firestorm :wink: or I'll need to look for them on my old hard drive.

Now that is mighty impressive looking stuff. As good as welding. Good find. :thumbup:

It's on ebay too http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksi ... &_from=R40

I've found JB weld, the rolly poly putty chemical reaction stuff does not last. Especially on high stress points like footpegs for example. It also seems to weaken or become brittle in the freezing weather.
