I have a Quantum US300 that has a damaged kick lever. There is an indention where the ratchet made contact with it. Only problem it was made in 98 so the parts are no longer available. Is there a way that you would suggest trying to fix it?

it's like the ambassaduer kick levers.  you've got metal against metal.  i was thinking of a spot weld, then grind it down to shape, but it might not hold.  a stainless steel insert like the one in the revo might be the only answer.  ughhh!
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Difficult to repair as the material may be pot metal cast and plated. In desperation drill and tap and epoxy a small stainless screw in place  where the gouge is. When set grind back to shape. You will have a piece of stainless where the most wear is happening. I have this issue with the CABO PT and for now it seems to be holding up.
