I think the "Safe-Start" idler boss reinforcement product is a great thing.

I do have a question though. Has anyone re-checked their Safe Start installation after, say a year or more?

Reason I ask is, I'm attempting something similar to repair a broken Shift Shaft lever boss on a '85 Kawasaki GPZ that has left a hole in the crankcase. Proper repair (replace lower crankcase) becomes a BIG hassle, because, for the GPZ, according to Kawasaki, you MUST replace BOTH crankcase halves, as they're machine matched.
I've engineered (BWAAA...) a slip-over and clipped reinforcement piece, that I want to "reinforce" with epoxy. There is no measurable tension forces on this piece, only shear. (so I think)
I intend to epoxy the broken piece to the crankcase, epoxy the slip-over washer to the piece and the surrounding crankcase surface, and epoxy the bolted clip that holds the washer against the piece.

I'd like to know if the epoxy holds up under the conditions surrounding the repair. (crankcase material, heat, oil, time, etc.).
IF it has, and I'm sure it has, I'd also appreciate the EXACT manufactures item info. (number?) of the JB Weld used, and the info. on what type "cleaner" was used for the crankcase surface. I believe the J. B. Weld mentioned in the Safe Start info. is available in a couple different mixes.(?)
I have Lacquer thinner, acetone, and alcohol at home.
