nose cone repair
 
I have b1's with addon bullet cones (possibly Bobs Nose cones) and the epoxy/filler between the drive and add-on cone has a big chip / scrape on one side and No other cracks or chips anywhere else. I was wondering what is the best filler patch that I can use on the outdrive to hide the blemish/chip and to be durable and paintable.

Thanks

I too need to use some epoxy or something on my gear case to blend in the nose casting into the front portion of the gearcase. I think the previous owner put bondo on but it flaked off in a huge chunk last year. What do others use to blend in their nosecones?

Hey Guys,

Hydromotive Engineering recommends a polyester based body filler (not talcum)...in fact they suggest all metal by U.S.G. if you can find it locally.

I pulled this information from their hydro-cone installation instructions.

Hope this helps,
Don B.

Marglass also works well, aivalable at any aut paint supply store, similiar to bondo but much harder and wont crack or fall out.
