The left front brancard was damaged...



I used a copper plate to add some metal...
This plate has magnets embedded in case you cannot use a clamp.


After grinding and self etching primer.

Semi gloss black to match the rest of the chassis.


The bottom was really in bad shape.

After cutting, sand blasting, treating for rust and applying weldable primer. I'll be able to add some metal once the new fabricated piece is in place.

Ready to be welded. This side will be inside the longeron.

The seem will be hidden by the valence.

All the welds have been sealed with a paintable sealer between the primer and the paint to avoid any further penetration of water or moisture.
