At some point on the trip the owner must have had a pretty good drop - I've got most of it lined up, but the stator grommet was leaking, despite being COVERED in gasket maker/sealant.
I've managed to get the case open to take a look/replace, unfortunately the grommet I got doesn't fit for one but that's not the hardest thing to source (I'm going to replace the whole stator, seems the easy way unless anyone else has a better idea?).
The real problem is that in the drop it seems that the stator cover ALMOST got punched through, to the point there's actually a hairline crack on the inside. Now I'd like to just replace it with an OEM cover, but I'm struggling to find one, so I may have to get a MIG/TIG welder to fix it up. Given it's damaged I'm wary that doing that may just mean if (when) I drop it I'll just punch it through anyway, but at the moment that's my only option, the internet isn't providing much in the way of a spare.
Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to source one, or tips in general?
