531 is just a brand name, Its just a moly-chrome medium carbon steel so I would guess if its arc welded they would use a similar material for the flat and box section
If you use a High tensile mig wire there should be no problems, as long as you don't chill the welds in a draft
Or you could anneal the frame like Norton did with the works Manx’s
-
-
You shouldn’t have any problem mig welding 531, I would use a wire like E70S6 it will pretty much weld any steel.
(E70S6 quite expensive about £40 for a small roll)
But you shouldn’t have to much problem with standard wire
-
How old are you, I guessing 14?????
-
Why do countless people moan about pre65 events and how they are no fun ect….. (I for one enjoy modern pre65 events MX & Trials)
Maybe the only people not having fun are the bigoted few?
It’s easy to criticise other peoples efforts and bikes, so why don’t all the whingers start a pure pre65 club or host event!
Actions speak louder than words
-
If it was a private sale, its no longer your problem (as stated above)
-
Give him chance, he’s cleaning his rose tinted glasses
-
Re: Ask Greeves posts, What a rude bigoted person!
But that’s just my opinion, and I didn’t read it in Don Morley’s book
-
Next you will be telling me Red Bull is not the same as Redex injector cleaner!
-
that's a very nice bike, the frame is Similar to the Suzuki Beamish
-
It’s a drink!?!?!?!
I’ve been cleaning my old paintbrushes with it!
-
The classic (and funniest) question must be:
Does it have power-bands?
Closely followed by
Can I convert it to 4 stroke?
Many years ago I went to look at a RM125, the vendor told me it had power-bands fitted to every gear he said he could guarantee this has he had just fitted new ones!
-
I use ATF (Dexron II) and it works well
-
How many silver engine models did beamish produce?
-
It’s that rare the 250 gaskets won’t fit, even though it’s a 325!
Didn’t all the 325 beamish’s have reed valves on the barrel?
-
I’ve broke a few doing motocross, its always worth going to the doctors, just to be on the safe side!
My doctor was a git, he kept poking the broken ones…
-
Oggie is correct its the shops problem, you need to talk to trading standards ASAP!
-
Mild steel should be fine (EN1), but you would probably be better with EN8 as the thread would be stronger
It very much depends on the application & spindle diameter.
-
Chinese riders maybe, but not Japanese
-
Did the brakes & drums ever change on the beamish models?
Also does anyone know the best place to get a cheap front brake plate?
-
I have it parked next to a beamish and bultaco and they are fine (and 30 years older)
-
Just got my gasgas out after a couple of months laid up, the spokes and nipples have gone rusty, so has various parts of the frame!
Anyone else had this problem?
-
What size or make was the chains they chopped though?
Might help others to protect there bike in the future
-
If you can turn the piston clockwise / anticlockwise you have a bearing issue that needs further investigation (Probably the little end bearing)
-
An alarm, ground anchor and a few hefty chains are your best bet
