That can be fixed Hooli

"Len Paterson" of the Cylinder head shop would be a good start for an estimate,we also have a good engineers near me (Bedford) who would be able to fix it as well.=

T&L Engineering http://www.tandlengineering.co.uk

or http://www.cylinderheadshop.co.uk

Any decent ally welder will fill that,it will be the machining that will be a bit more specalised.

Can assist with the Bedford one if that will help
