You just need to find a competent, and I stress competent, welder that is good with aluminum. the repair is simple and straight forward. More so if you have the missing piece. If not it can be done, but will not match. Being that the head is cast and welding on a piece of sheet. The best thing to do is find a donor head to give up a piece to weld on.

Where in Qld?

Nick Comoly would be the best fellow to see. link below.

There are several others Geoff Howie, Solo Tooling at Albion. And a fellow at Springwood who is very good also.

Nick Comoly (Niccom Eng) has done Ducati single fins for me, very good job. A fellow at Springwood, (specialised welding services, can't remember his details) did a similar repair a madas's picture but not that big. I'll find his details for you. And Paul Bushell also has done fin repairs for me. All know what they are doing. Graeme
