  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Engine case repair advice after chain break

Q

2004 TE 450

Hi I had my chain break last week and its taken out the front sprocket guard mountings

I've repaired the upper lug by drilling/tapping an M6 stud into the engine case and putting a slightly oversized hole into the snapped off lug. Used some 2 part alloy bond to fill the void and so far it seems good.

Problem I have is with the top lug you could see how deep it extended & drilling 10-15mm into it wasn't a danger. With the bottom one i can't tell if it extends inside the engine case or ive only got the actual thickness of the engine case & if so i'll have to bond the lug back on with no re-inforcement which will be weak. So I'm wondering if anyone has experiance of this or perhaps an old case that they can check if there's any material on the inside to drill into?

Could have been worse I didn't Superman over the bars and the new Oberon clutch slave i'd just fitted is a bit damaged but not obliterated :-)20140510_085131.jpg

Think I might have answered this now just found a good picture of the inside of the case on ebay and from what I can tell there's nothing
behind so just the thickness of the case to play with :-(

I agree with huskylove, make a custom bracket that picks up another bolt somewhere nearby. Better than no case saver at all
 
Thanks for the advice guys, I managed to bond the lower one back in place drilled some shallow holes in the case and lug for the bond to take a grip, I think as you suggest I'm best to fabricate a new bracket that uses a new good fixing, hadn't thought of that so cheers
