ahhhh....


you can get new 'cups' made up and welded mate, dont bother replacing the whole beam! a good welder should charge no more than 70 quid for making up the cup and welding.

oops, didnt see that there.


i'd just get it welded mate.

either 20 quid for a weld, or 200 quid for fitting a new rear beam i expect!

the choice - is yours.

nah the cracks a bit more extensive than that it runs on up..

goin 2 replace rear beam wont cost me more than the price of it and get the whole lot nicely painted..

yea theres a flash but battery was running low!

the only disturbing thing it that it lets the wheel move in and out so i dread cornering!
