Camshaft Cap Needed

Unfortunately, I have a broken No.2 camshaft cap on a Z900 engine I'm building and in need of a replacement in case anyone can help please.

Cheers, Steve

Where is it broke ?.
If it's just on the bridge you can use it.

Yes, it has broken on the edge of the bridge so I've now arranged to have it welded

Be careful.
Having it welded can distort the shell seats and cause the cam to lock when tightened.
It would work just fine as it is with the rest of the bridge removed and used as two separate caps.
Just mark their positions so they can't get mixed up.

When putting cams in tighten both cam caps evenly a bit at a time and use mole grips if you can to press cam down,before putting cam in make sure buckets are free and not stuck,put a bit of engine oil on them before refitting cam,hope this helps
