SEP at Kegworth did a barrel fin repair for me (as recommended by Jack) and it is pretty much invisible.

Not sure if complete fins may be a bit difficult, but you could give them a try.

I have had many repairs carried out by Dave Maddison of Weldspek. Top bloke and when he repairs fins you cannot see the joint. Recommended.

Chris, any GOOD alloy welder should be able to build fins back :|
If a LARGE lump is missing, a bit of grafting may be needed, but should be 'do-able' :wink:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

I've put the head on now so I guess it'll have to be a 'ratbike' for this year. Unfortunately the broken fins are long gone..........
