Hi All,

I have another 45 on the go that I picked up on Saturday and it has both rails severely cracked. I will post up photos tomorrow so you can all see to what extent, but this is what happens when the clutch becomes flogged out and the balance of the clutch injects massive vibration. How some people can use a machine without noticing that something is wrong is beyond me, but all I can do is deal with the situation and repair it to better than original for strength. I have some ideas in mind but as this is the first chassis that I have obtained with this level of failure I thought it best to ask the folk who've done this repair many times before as its quite common.

Cheers to you all,

BB

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.
