Redline 401 Crank Arm - Cracked Pinch Bolt

<< < (2/4) > >>

mark 2:
Be careful with a re-tap if it get's drilled again for the thread you'd lose too much of the original metal and then have to go up a size and knob about with different hardware for that side. Try a little weld and get it filed and polished out then a rechrome.

TwoBobRob:
No tapping there surely?   It must be a clearance hole....  Tapped thread is on t'other bit   ;)


As for the repair, stick it in the post to Fuzzynod, have his mate repair it, then I'd say ride on it no worries  :)

sawzall:
just noticed it was on the non thread side :D

mark 2:
yes, well spotted :LolLolLolLol:

SaMAlex:
I had a crank arm rewelded (not a 401). The weld was spot on but the heat distorted the spindle boss and it didnt fit over the spindle!! Just a little something to watch out for.
