Hi all, I've just got my grubby mitts on a 22B. One of the clips that holds the control stem in the case has become detached. Any suggestions as to the best way to re-attach it. It looks like it was previously spot welded. Other than that wherecan I find a new case I know, no hope Thanks Robin
I don't know where you are, but some auto body shops are set up to spot weld and may be able to reweld it for you. Failing that, try an air conditioning or sheet metal shop. Nordicthug
Hi, Robin My 22B had the same problem. A 111 also had the hinge pin come adrift from its welds. Having previously disposed of my gas bottles (why do you always find that you need something when it's gone ) a mate of mine kindly brazed (bronze welding?) the parts back together. Much easier and more predictable than spot welding thin metal parts like the clip. The heat didn't make it lose any of its tension either. As a job it took just seconds to do - my guess is that any local garage mechanic would do it for the price of a pint during a lunch break Steve
Thanks for the reply..............i did wonder about trying to solder it on................it shouldn't get that hot........... Cheers Robin
If yoiu're going to try to solder it, there are inexpensive high strength silver bearing solders that are easy to use. Nordicthug
