Headset Welding - Where to go?

Postby Danbretta » Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:22 pm

Hi All,
I'd like to get my headset welded, it has a 3 inch crack running up from from the base. Can anyone recommend someone they trust could do a good job with this?
It's the original one that came with my Li150S still in original paint and a perfect matching pair so I'd like to get it repaired if possible even if it'll need a bit of paint touch up over the weld area.
Thanks in advance

If you are on Facebook, there is a lad on the Lambretta Rebuild group who, from pictures, seems to do good work with intricate aluminium parts. Dean something or other.

I can’t vouch for him and I have no idea how much he charges. But, he clearly knows what he is doing when welding Lambretta aluminium parts.
