looker Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I have a 1999 Montesa 315r and I've cracked the front fork case but can't seem to find a replacement anywhere, does anyone have any ideas of where I can get one from? I've been told they don't make them anymore and the newer Showa ones don't fit. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 A good welder should be able to fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I agree with guys post, had a Fantic and Beta repaired, get the welder to file a groove in the crack then fill with weld. The Fantic has lasted over 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looker Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cheers, I think that's the best idea, I've got someone that's going to have a look at for me know. I found some forks in the end from a website - www.allensusedtrialsspares.co.uk/# wanted £200 for a pair... not a bad deal I suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcota Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 695 views of this topic tells me I'm not alone with this problem. The manual says to torque bolts to 7 lbs/ft. Never had a problem with that, just rocks that seem to jump right out of the hill side and attack my 99 315R. My break looks like yours so was wondering if the weld worked or if you wished you would have done something different. It seems like the bolts are still doing the job of pinching the axel and the axel is secure even with the complete break. Any one riding there 315R with this condition? If so, at what level a rider are you, and how long have you been riding with the broken part? Any and all ideas are welcome. Looker, have you found the fork case you need? Thanks guys and if you are ever in Yuma AZ send me an e-mail so I call show you what I feel is the best winter trials riding available. Thanks again.

guys Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Don't ride with a damage like that, you're gonna make it worse, maybe damage other parts of the fork, wheel, brake disc or something else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcota Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Good advise guys, I hope to hear from others who have welded part and how it's holding up. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
