Is This Knackered

Recommended Posts

Firstly, thanks to the beam stripping guide on here (excellent work Wurzel :) ) I was able to strip the rear beam with ease and without incident, Oh and thanks to Tom Fentons miracle tool (thanks Tom)

 

Well nearly, I was a little impatient and didn't heed the warning and ended up gauging a chunk from the beams bearing surface.

 

Is there anything I can do with this or is it new beam time.

 

The gauge is about 1-1.5mm deep.

 

(edit - answered my own question just looked at the bearing and they have there own bearing surface, so guess just need to make it smooth)

Personally, I wouldn't use that tube

 

But I know other people who have used a metal putty or epoxy

That will be fine with the gouges dressed, as you said, the bearing doesn't run on that.

I've seen tubes a lot worse than that, just address the gorges and it should be ok
