Thanks for the reply BB
It has already had a new B&S fitted but although I haven’t detected any cracks it’s possible they may be hiding under the paintwork, in addition to that I have since noticed a slight bow in the rear rail.
I think the decision has been made for me this time 🤔
I am tempted to do the strengthening work myself but I have read that twisting in the frame is a real concern through the welding process.
Any words of wisdom from any experienced campaigners would be greatly appreciate 😁
Thanks..
