Bent chassis
LBMEFM - 10/7/17 at 03:12 PM

Following a shunt to my n/s/front wheel of my MK Indy it has put a slight bend in the upright square section of the chassis where the round bar is attached that comes up from the lower part of the chassis and the rear of the upper wishbone mounting is. Is the only option to weld in a new upright section?

I'd have thought a check on the chassis wishbone pick-ups to make sure there's no distortion would help. Worst case a rebuild with a new chassis, otherwise cut out and replace the bent section as you suggest.

Cut out and replace, no question about it.

Yep cut it out replace. Pretty easy tbh.

Thanks guys, it's stripped and ready to be welded in, as said pretty easy. How are you Ben long time no hear from you?

Good thanks mate, If you have any issues give me a shout ! I've got a decent MIG welder.

Thanks for that Ben but I have got a mate who's a fabricator doing it for me. Look after yourself, all the best Barry.
