Cast Iron cylinder sleeving
Hi group!
I'm restoring a vintage Triumph motorcycle and discovered that the alloy cylinder block (Wellworthy, I believe) is cracked, near the exhaust ports, through the sleeve and cylinder block. Replacement sleevers are no longer available from Wellworthy and I would like to make new ones to press in after welding the cylinder block. My question is: where would I find suitable cast iron pipe for making the sleeves? I have access to a lathe and milling machine, as well as welding capability. The intent is to restore this machine but not as a daily rider. That said, I would rather do the job correctly. Thanks, Norman C |
