Ipalmer - I *think* I may have a spare one, that was on a hub I removed.

That bit looks like cast iron. Does anyone know if cast iron can be welded?
STILL cheaper, even if it needs specialist help, than having it rplaced at £350 for the part alone
My lad got an alloy frame welded for a trials bike recently, £25 all in. Perfect job.

It's not the Hammer or the broken Brakes I'd worry about mate....
It's what your other half will do to you when she finds out you used her Douvet to sit on while you were Spanking your Car with a Mallet....Lol

This happehed to me on my Catalunya a couple fo years ago. ABS ring broke. I ahd to pay £350 for a new ABS ring!! Couldnt pick one up 2nd hand.
Strange thing is we werent being brutal at the time. Hope you get it sorted for less than it cost me.. I got it fixed and then the discs warped 2 weeks later!!

Sorry mate but to replace the broken ring,you will have to remove the whole hub carrier.(these do not just tap off!!).
The centre hub will have to be pressed out but it may break/damage the hub bearing.Once the hub is off then you can unbolt the ABS ring.
Refitting means using the press to refit the hub back onto the bearing.

nah, she'll quickly forget that once she sees the repair bill for the new ABS ring
Iain, I'd get some flowers ordered for her quickstyle or keep the hammer well out of reach from her

OK, silly question, BUT:
Would it be possible to spot weld the broken bit back into place? I can't see why not, as it's not stressed in any way, and carries no weight?
Surely, a good welder would put it back for you, like new, at a fraction of the cost of a new one/repair involving hub removal?

ozzy ,
she's working 'till 9.30 tonight - so i've got till then to get everthing sorted - i'm gonna carry on sorting the brakes out (335mm godspeed conversion) and get it back on the road with the busted abs ring
I can always tell her next week that a rogue stone broke it lol.
not me with a hammer bigger then Thor !
this welding idea could be a good one tho' - all the ring does is go round and round with a sensor aimed at the back of it.

You'd be best bolting it all back up and gettin it recovered to a garage tbh
To fix it involves pulling the whole knuckle off, pressing the hub out, fitting the new ring then pressing the hub back into the knuckle...I wouldn't do that without replacing the bearing.
I don't mean to be rude but it's a very serious bit of your car....if you **** it up you could finish up on 3 wheels!!
Best of luck

I think thats an old set of curtains he's using. I say old because that design is sooo late 90's
