New spring mount and more rot to deal with its comong on .hoping to paint it this week and get the axels fitted
Just read this from the top - great thread and great project - watching ( with interest 
)
Have you heard of cold metal stitching ?? - well, I think that might be "luke warm" metal stitching- its probably got just about enough strength, but it looks appalling... and to think the Japs used to get criticised for their "pigeon dropping" welding on bike frames in the 70's

i going to hopefully weld the hanger in tomoz after i cut the rotton part out of the chassis and replace it with new steel then weld the fresh spring mount in .i have already made the top of the spring mount out of 6 mm steel so i know its strong
Amen, My grandfather used to say - "Do it nice, or do it twice" - it's engraved into my memory....if a jobs worth doing its worth doing right .it takes time and pactiance but well worth it and the satisfacton we get from doing it is even better
