How do you repair a fork crown?

I would be reluctant to apply too much heat, if its going on a rider. They are heat treated usually, after the assemly and "tigging" has taken place, I believe. Get it too hot and you will screw up this process.

Don't know if you can make it out or not ...............................

sawzall:
as far as i can make out by the pics there is a bit of the shoulder missing ??? if so just a bit of weld should build up area,and shape with sander-file ;)

thesku11s:
have you not got a macro button (the flower!)  ;D

I suggest you get someone who works with lathes to spin the whole thing off. Then make a shim for applying the crown race,

I have to use a shim to convert between JIS and ISO, made a copper shim, works a treat.
