i need to have the indicator holes welded up on a headset bottom. cannot just fill them because its off to get engraved then chromed. any advice on type of weld etc. Thanks

You just need to find a local welder who can weld aluminium. I wouldn't worry about specifying how he welds it, he (or she) will know.

The best welders not only know how to weld, but accept cash, and small amounts of it.

Once you have found a good local welder, you will be surprised just how often they can be of use to you.

May I suggest you reply to this post stating where about in Yorkshire you live. Someone may well be able to point you in the right direction, or perhaps even have the very service you require.

Good luck.

I dont know which area of Yorkshire you live but here is one place in Leeds that do alsorts of welding including aluminium welding on motorcycles.

tony from ajs aqua blasting does repairs to lambretta headsets, ive just lent him a gp healamp ring so he can get the shape correct on a headset he is repairing, ive seen his repairs and they are of the highest standard, i do also have an engine casing with him that he is going to weld for me, he is down chamberlain road in hull, he also does aqua blasting which is the perfect finish to prepare for paint, a realy nice bloke as well.

glad to be of service, he is a top mechanic, but very busy, you might have to wait a short while, but you will get a top notch job, people send him parts from overseas to repair, just google aj s aqua blasting and you will find his number
