Evolution ME 3500 mag drill parts wanted!

[Ton-up]

Hiya,
Well, I found a Evolution ME3500 in a skip. It had the lead cut off, the switch plate was loose, etc, but I couldn't leave it there, could I! (I did ask if I could have it).
Anyway, after finding the motor worked and then a bit of re-wiring, the magnet was ok too, I found a new magnet switch in my box of tat and everythings good......except the main aluminimum body is split on each side of the vee's.
So, would anyone have a dead ME 3500 thrown in the corner or under the bench and would be prepared to let me have the main body (for beer tokens of course!)
Cheers, chaps

Have you tried contacting Evolution, their UK base is in Sheffield.

Don't think it's really worth welding, thin ally casting that has been spread top to bottom, so getting it straight would probably need machining after.

Can get a new one for about £100, so not really worth spending that much on when I don't know it's history.

Thanks.
