Caille Liberty Single

[bill-loveland]

This one came to me with a gear drive magneto (what Jack calls a frame mount mag) and an aluminum transom clamp bracket.

Jack shows a similar one here: http://caille.8m.com/liberty-single/pho … index.html

No questions on this one, just some pics and comments.

This transom clamp had been through the wars – had been previously welded in nine places before the previous owner gave up.

Note the asymmetry – a Caille design feature to compensate for torque?

Unfortunately, my spare clamp brackets are no better:

Bill the only suggestion I can make about your current aluminum transom bracket is putty up all of the holes and the expansion slot, glue it back together as best you can, and use it for a pattern to cast one out of aluminum, brass or ductile iron.

FWIW (about $0.035 Cdn) if it was me, I wouldn’t bother with the aluminum. Silicon bronze would be my choice.

Hope this helps.

I could always paint it with aluminum paint 🙂

I would consider loaning my casting out to use as a pattern if you want Bill…
with hopes of being able to buy one of the bronze repops…

There was so much impurities in those old castings and the old torch welding seemed to lock the corrosion in.
