Tinware. Used or New?
hulbyw - January 13th, 2014 at 08:44 PM

I have some original TP tinware that is cracked and needs welding. I was offered a set of 2 new cylinder covers today.For all you engine builders out there, what is best? Welded originals or new repro? Both would need stripping and powder coating/heatproof painting
Cheers...................Wayne

Depends on who makes the repos

If you're not going to use it, I'll buy it ...

German hands down for me.

I like the air vane and it hugs the fins properly
