Hi guys and girls,

 

I am looking for an aluminium welder that can assist me to repair a crack/tear in a frame. I recently got a frame from a fellow hubber :thumbup:  but the seat tube was damaged (wrong seat post was installed) and the seat tube cracked open from the seat clamp to the top of the rear triangle. See photo atached.

Can anyone recommend a welder that can assist?

 

Looking forward to your reply.

 

Thank you in advance

That should be an easy repair. Just make sure whoever does it turns a sleeve of stainless to insert into the seat tube before welding. Solution heat treat back to condition T6 once weld is done or it will fail again. Sorry I'm in joburg so can't do unless you send up.
