I have a 98 OE model with a cracked generator cover. Before I furbish Brian with my hard earned does anyone have one sat around or even a cheap complete ish engine? I realise this may be like searching for rocking horse droppings.
as its alloy you could alwasy take it to a sheetmetal shop ad have them tig weld the crack up for you but as its old alloy it may be difficult but an experienced sheet metal worker should be ale to do it
