Both have chipped off on top caliper mount. One has helicoils in it but wasnt drilled out more to accept regular bolt so helicoils in it take smaller bolt. Jb welded the chipped piece back on, could it be drilled and helicoiled? The second on is currently being used with longer bolt and loc-tite. Could anyone fix these?

Even if they are mag, quite a few of us could fix these for you.
The problem lies in the fact that brand new a side bell is what... $250? You'd be close to half of that in a proper repair job of welding & machining.

They are $300. So if I could get one fixed for $100 would be worth it.I am in Bloomington, if anyone is close that could do.it and would do ot for resonable price let me know. Thanks

scott at leaders edge makes a bracket that helps fix the problem of snapping off the bell ears. good thing is majority of the time they use your broken side bell and machine it down, its a great setup. highly recommend it.
