Looking for a 3 Bearing Crankcase to help out a fellow Austin 7 owner in Italy, Yes I have asked before, but this time
his C/Case is damaged beyond repair !!!!! Rod though the side, and no, the local welder messed it all up, so s-crap .
Anyone had experience of laser welding and cost ?
You should also look on here re 3 brg crankcase bearing alignment as many seem to be out of line which will reduce the crankshaft life.
Mods to the centre bearing for more pressure,i.e. Blanking the feed to camshaft centre brg etc,extra centre block stud etc for a reliable engine.
