Hi all

Have other restorers noticed when striping the frames back for painting a hairline crack in the frame around where the engine bolts on to the frame. I take it that the common fix for this is to weld up a 3mm plate in the underside of the frame rails where the engine bolts onto the frame and weld new SAE/AF Nuts on to the new plate or simply insert the plate and then use nyloc nuts for the engine.


Opinions or thoughts.


Thanks in advance
