Crushed Brake Bridge and flared drop out repairs
« on: July 13, 2010, 11:14 AM »
Seen a frameset in chrome good survivor finish but the brake bridge has a crush in the centre and the drop outs look flared and pretty gauged off the wheel nuts....is this type of damage easy to repair and would I need to powder over the repaired bits rather than re-chrome?
I have dropped Phil Sawzall a PM to see what he thinks but any other imput would be good  :daumenhoch:
Also is it an easy repair or a pain in the ass  ;)

think you've already PM'ed the master mate.......think you'll need to put a new secion in for the brake bridge (depending how bad it's crushed) and new drop outs welded on and smoothed out before a powder  :daumenhoch:

but Phil the power Sawzall will tell you  :daumenhoch:

Yeah sounds a Ball ache the crushed bridge looks bad and that isn't even from a close up shot....couldn't change the drop outs as I am paying over the top for the stamp on the drop outs instead of a later model with a tai stamped bb  :LolLolLolLol:  8)
Wanted performer 84 done and dusted for MK-had a ten day plan to build it but it is all tits up now  ;D pfffffffffft  :(
