Thanks for the news Bamboo812, if he's having health issues and in and out of the hospital then I completely understand his unresponsiveness and truly wish him all the best and a return to good health.
I will quit with emailing and calling and carry on and get the job done elsewhere.
Thanks for the tip of Hansen's, do you live in Canada?,,,,,,,,,,, the idea of sending valuable parts out of country for repair leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sent a BSA connecting rod to england for big end work a while back, on return, canada customs decided that the declaration was a lie and I was actually buying the parts new and they decided they were entitled to more than $60 for duty's and whatever, didn't have the cash on me,,,I have to say, I was hard pressed not to go on the offensive and forcibly wrestle the package out of the poor delivery guys hands that day.
Ive heard tell of a guy near montreal,, yves faucher, don't know if anyone here has used him but I am looking into it,,,,, may I ask what Hansens in Oregon has been charging for this repair?
Bruno's Machine & Repair
Re: Bruno's Machine & Repair
No, I live in Hawaii. Hansen's does it differently than Bruno; they weld new material and machine the splines, whereas Bruno cuts the spline cup off and welds a new one on. If you send them the ring gear only, it's around $180 last I looked. If your rear drive is in good shape, and just needs splines and seals, it's around $600 to rebuild the whole thing.
Re: Bruno's Machine & Repair
If I am having no luck with the guy in montreal I will probably end up sending it to Oregon,,,,,,,,, if I find out that the guy in montreal is viable and good then I will post it into the thread,,,,,, as for now I cant remember where I found his name in the first place, he does have a website montecristo-moto.com ,, I have emailed , but as yet have had no response from him either.
We are just coming into winter here and I would much rather be looking forward to the next several months in Hawaii.
Thanks again
Gord
