I'm presently rebuiling a Moto Guzzi Le Mans MK1 that I picked up in a very sorry and disgusting state.
It's come with an original plastic nose fairing, but there is a chunk about 1.5" X 0.5" on the top edge that has been broken off and is missing, and in this bit is where one of the five mounting points are located, and so it will be to an extent a "stressed" area. So it isn't just a case of sticking it back in, as a new piece will need fabricating.
I am struggling to find anywhere locally who can confirm that they can repair it, although a local car repairer has said if it is out of sight that they may be able to effect a repair.
Therefore I just wondered if anybody knew any geniuses at plastic repairing in the UK, as there is also a repair to a side panel needed. I know that new fibreglass nose fairing are available but they aren't as cosmetically pleasing on the inner face as the original plastic one.
