Reattaching bits

Anyone know how I can reattach one of those little bolt-holes[1] back to the
swingarm?

Bolt-hole-thing seems to be made of ally, not sure what the swingarm is made
of.

Cheers.


[1] Don't know the proper name for it. It's a short, hollow cylinder with
grooves on the inside formerly attached to the bottom of the swingarm near
the rear axle. You stick a bolt (bobbin) in it to attach a paddock stand to
and lift the rear. There's one on each side.

Nah, bit of Loctite and a couple of cable ties. Gaffa tape if you want
to be really sure.

 

Mr. Fantastic says...

Used swing arms are dirt cheap because no-one ever buys them from
breakers. Probably cheaper than having someone weld this bit back on.

 

That's a bit of good news as the XS swing arm is:

(a) corroded
(b) spindle's still seized
(c) shortly to be on the receiving end of a powered cutting tool

 

Ta, but a used swingarm from Barton Motors is £60 + VAT. I'm sure someone
can weld it for less.

I would certainly hope so anyway.

 

Exactly what I wanted to hear.

Thanks.
