If you plan on welding in a new piece then get some info on how the right way to path up a frame and box iron in general. If I remember it right you should cut it at a 45? angle and any strengthenig patches welded on the sides should be diamond shaped to weld at an angle.


I will check that out, thanks. I was thinking of cutting a rearward facing point and then the female version in the new peice. However, may be a 45 degree angle would be better.

I thought more about swapping the whole frame after replying to NathanC and that kind of job is not going to happen anytime soon. Just too much to do these days.

Gonna try and cutting the frame at the yard next weekend. I will post an update <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
