You had a good idea there Bob. That is as much fun as fixing the thing I always find & by that I mean the challenge of how to fix it. Good thinking & thanks for sharing.252 Miller Mig

Chrome plating
Having never welded cylinders before, I have a question.
On a job like this, how do you deal with the chrome plating on the cylinder, do you just grind it off where you plan to run your bead ? Then do you weld it like any other metal being the cylinder is trued. Is a cylinder tempered ?Ken
What else is there besides welding and riding. Besides that

If i was going to weld it i would just grind off the chrome. The cyl end was dead soft, i pushed a 3/8" bit right thru with no pilot hole...BobBob WrightComment
