[QUOTE="oexing, post: 139429, member: 1493"] Welding a bit on the camplate is no big deal, I got my TIG welder out and had some high chrome rods that you get easily from Ebay or elsewhere. No need for extra hard finish as it would be brittle possibly, the chrome rods do around 55 HRC or so, even less is allright. I like that for various other places like camplate notches position lever tip, no pointy pin any more in that short bore. The point is you want low wear material as stellite will do. This is less than 60 HRC I guess but great for followers reportedly ? The Dremel tool is a grinding stone preferably, carbide is more expensive and blunt in short time, well, depends what you got at home. With all that fiddling in camplate grooves my plan was to get maximum engagement in all gears, especially with some old gears with some minor wear on dogs, was not willing to buy all new. Placing a handful of thrust washers cannot be done in all cases as you keep gears aligned and only the shifting double gears can be moved a bit more into engagement so this can be achieved ony by mods on the camplate, but I found it worthwhile - well, one of my other bikes is an Earles BMW, these are not famous for their gearboxes, not a lot of wear tolerated on driving dogs to jump out of gear - seems some sort of paranoia then . . . .
