Just recieved my F&P from randys workshop and the shippers were a little rough with handling it and a hole has been punched through the magnet hub.
Will this cause me problems or can someone help me out with ways to repair. Thanks

Its not that bad. We have a product in Oz called "Fibre-bog". Its used for car repair, just like normal bog ( body filler ) but stronger and has fibre glass threads mixed in. Or you could make up a patch out of plastic and use some 24 hr epoxy to bond it together. Its got nice feathered edges so the epoxy should take well.

Hope that helps.

I had set this project aside but now reading about the cogless rotor decided to get back at it and make it the 7 phase. I found a place in the US that carries F&P repair parts and have ordered part #420 774P at a good price of $46.oo US. including shipping. I just hope the part # is the same as the one posted here. I will let you know when it arrives if it is the rotor hub.
