Hi xhall,
Firstly thank you for the extra photos as they are a great help. I am though a tad perplexed what the photo of the two holes is as that is not original if it is on the left hand side of the rear rail ? Please elaborate if you can or could you show me a wider shot so I can see where those holes are in relation to the whole machine
Well as I suspected those rails are fractured all over the place and will have to be rewelded using a TIG welder (to reduce heat) by a competent tradesman so that the chassis does not distort. You will have to find someone locally that is certain that he can do the job and not just have a crack and end up with a corkscrewed chassis, thus rendering the chassis as a throw away.
Under no circumstances should this chassis be used as it is. It must be repaired so that the engine and clutch are fully aligned again otherwise the whole exercise has been a waste of time and money.
If you require any further clarification don't hesitate to ask any questions.
Cheers,
BB
