Clutch Cover Rot Salvage Or Trash

so I keep reading about some very creative repairs and some intrigue me
using fillers to repair case inserts at swingarm mount
read about people filling water pump cavities
so the question and hopefully get a thread with info started on repair
I was going through some early parts and found a clutch cover, the seal area is rugged
how would you repair this area, or,,,, should I just pitch it as planned



,

I used JB weld for my water pump repair. Or you can find someone to weld it.

what disonny said. also ensure seal and bearing is round/true. use a gasket from an auto on WP impeller cover. was a rubber gasket and not an o ring. seals more better

Very repairable 2premo, my 86 barely had the bearing pocket, just enough to determine where the bearing needed to be, fixed with a 2 part epoxy similar to JB, lasted for the three years I owned it.
Swingarm sleeves, well you know my preferred fix for them......thank you for the good cases!

that looks totally repairable to me. you might have to sacrafice a wp shaft seal to do it right though. i'd give it a go.

I mean, that cover is shot, package it up and send it to me!

Don't trash it maybe a air cooled guy needs it for his bike? One mans trash is another mans treasure.

WC cover on an AC is just wrong.

its not wrong if that is all you have.

If the water pump area is corroded that bad as to where it can't be repaired why not make a plate to block off the pump area and install it on a ac engine? Then it has another life. I purchased Craig's new clutch cover and did just that. He was the only one with a clutch cover that was online at the time, I built a 83/250cr five speed. Parts is parts.

dug through my spares and found I had a good spare cover so don't need this, anyone interested in it?

Sure, I take it. Mine was far worse. PM me

there is a guy in aus making new covers for the water bottles so relax. he is on Ozvmx forum and works in foundary. has got his own stuff going on and made plenty of CR honda water pump clutch covers and all sorts of things. search castings on ozvmx and you will find his threads...

his forum name is kdx 175
