you can only edit for so long, but you could message one of the mods to help, there have been many people on here helped others out in person, the forum is full of good people
Happy to help , and the good thing is I had a look through my assorted parts and found a suitable relay so will repair that board and return it as a spare.
Always good to meet kindred spirits.
thats just porn to some on here - your gonna get swamped by all the BIG VICE fetishists wanting you to join their club and swap photos " here's my Big Samson spread wide open ready for action" ....that sort of thing.
the relay is only a couple of ££ from maplins they dont last forever and its an easy fix
That's good to know Sean. masleeve said they were only a couple of £ but I wouldn't have know to try Maplins. If it's not on Ebay or Googleable I'm lost.
While we're here it might me worth explaining what the above is, why it was in pieces, why I've not welded the top and asking a question about hardening of threads when you've welded the nut/threaded part.
Might be better to start a new thread but, briefly, here it is.
Years and years ago I wanted to dismantle some shocks for my Yamahas (1972 AS3 & 1973 RD125) for painting/re-chroming. It was a bit of a disaster: the threads on the centre rods and top shrouds stripped so I had to cut the shrouds off.
Now I'm welding the 3 damaged ones back together. In an ideal world I could fill the damaged thread area with weld and retap it but I believe this would just result in a broken tap.
I was thinking I could overtap the hole once the thick part is re-welded and put in a thread insert.
Could the parts be brazed together and re-tapped?
fork shrouds cut to dismantle. now being put back together
this bit is easy
this bit will be trickier due to thread
top left unfinished until solution is found
threaded boss removed on this one. once repaired can be plug welded back onto shroud
in picture 2 those welds dont took to have penetrated very well they look only to be sat on top , you could have done with more power, as for your thread remove the old parts get a decent thickness / diameter washer weld it into the top then weld new nuts to the washer and there is your new threads
