Crankcase welded internally
I've been doing a bit of gearbox work on my old '84 Tenere and made a bit of a strange discovery.
There has been quite a bit of welding done to re-fix the pillar that has the stopper arm for the gear selector drum - I have another gearbox that has this very same pillar missing (looks like it has been snapped off).
I'm guessing this is a bit of a weak spot with the early engines???
I've looked at both sides of the repair and it looks like it is good but how reliable are welded repairs to cast metals???
I have a third gearbox casing (greedy eh?) that I might use but I wanted to keep the engine/gearbox numbers to match - what should I do???
