Hi Paul,

Is the finish inside the chain case identical to the outer colouring of the machine by any chance ?

I was going to bet London to a Brick that you were going to find fatigue fractures one the engine had been removed. Repairs must be done very carefully by someone that totally understands metal expansion and contraction as that will be the chassis' biggest enemy during the welding process.

The best method to date we've unearthed is the "Jones Gusset Repair method"

Check out the following thread.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
