Camshaft bearing

The Lazer welding did not require the actual bearing being removed as the heat is incredibly localised in short pulses.
It is an expensive process though !! But Nippy Crankcases are expensive and rare as hens teeth in good condition,

On the subject of repairing rare and/or interesting Nippy bits I found this in a box of spares recently acquired...

I think it will need a bit more than laser welding, but people rebuild WW2 aircraft from less... anyone fancy a Nippy. One careful owner from new?
