power valve triangle plate
 
So while trying to undo the nut that holds the link rod in place I have broken the lug off the triangle actuator plate. I'm not sure if I can repair, maybe drill the plate and put a bolt through?
Where are people in Australia buying parts from now that gasgas Australia is no longer the importer. New importer still has no parts site online.
Cheers.

Been there done that. What did I do? Think I welded something back in from the back. A while back and a few beers tonight.
Find an old time engineer dude and give him whatever he asks.

Many warnings here about that.
For those that haven't heard...torch the nyloc nut to melt the plastic before trying to remove it.

For parts give Jay at SMW a call.

I think jay has knocked it on the head and is out of the game now.
Close motocycles in marrickville (Sydney) will get the part you require.

The pin is just tack welded into the plate from what I remember. Should be able to have a decent welder do the same for you, making it better than new.

Yeah I used a pretty dreadful welder (me) but its still hanging in there just fine. I had to add a washer so it turned without getting hung up.

I'd probably just blow a hole through the whole tab if I tried.. or spatter it with bird poo... ;)

Ahh. So you know my secret techniques.
Actually I just took my old gasless mig to the tip. I feel much more competent with my new welder. Although I'm yet to spark it up. I've had it over a month. . . Can't believe it. Too much else on.

Wait until you try alloy...one sec theres a weldpool then "pffft"....gone...all gone...
Quite demoralising if you thought you could weld reasonably with stick and mig...
