Looking for frame repairs services in NSW

[lewisb]

Hi,

 I'm pretty new to the Douglas scene, but I'm trying to put together a T35. The pieces have been sitting in the shed for a long time and I've decided to take over my dad's endless postponement of the rebuild.
 I've run into a slight problem though: the bottom frame tube is fractured near the casting which connects it to the down frame tubes on both sides, almost identical to the problem addressed in an older thread ( https://www.douglasmotorcycles.net/index.php?topic=1616.0 ). Reading through the methods explained there, I know I certainly don't have the tools or experience to execute a job like that.

 I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a repairer (preferably within NSW) who could help me out?

Thanks,

Lewis

Hi Lewis

Just a note on this common problem. When you find someone to carry out the repair, make sure you are able to refit the torsion bar. You may find there is a build up of weld/ braise behind the repair.
Good luck.
Regards      Martin

I'll keep this in mind Martin, thanks. A repairer may have been located, I'll let you know how it all goes.

Thanks again,
Lewis

Hi Lewis
Laurie Alderton comes highly recommended when it comes to reparing motorcycle frames. I'm pretty sure he is from around Smithfield way.
Cheers, Graeme
