Hi all,
Just took the A10 barrel to be refurbished (part of the top fin of the barrel is missing). The guy at the bike shop said he wouldnt weld it, as by doing so, the barrel could be damaged. He suggested that I grind back the remaining edges and then by laying some cardboard down on top of the next fin (to create the gap), I could use automotive putty and build a new fin, sanding and grinding the edges to match the shape. In other words a cosmetic repair. I am seeking your thoughts on this. Seems a bit shronky to me !
Cheers Ian
