Whats the recommended method for repairing a scrapped chassis? I’m handy with a grinder/ welder (notice which order I put those too in) Can I add metal to it slowly as to not overheat and make things brittle and/or warp?
Never heard it discussed, so I’m just curious what methods are employed.
You can weld metal to it, especially if you have a hole or a crack, no problem if you do that, and then spray paint on it, it dries very quickly.
So I popped for the Kart Lift metal chassis protectors. They seem very sturdy, but its a 3 piece kit, which I wish was a 4 piece kit so I could cover the cross bar between the seat and the fuel tank. (2nd picture)
Me. They wear out fast and are the only thing keeping my frames from getting murdered by kerbs. A small investment that pays big.
Buy an additional front and stick it on there. That’s what I do.
+1 for Burpo’s way. Thats the only way to keep that bar clean, as well. Needed at tracks with “rough” surfaces.
I still have in mind to make some titanium ones, sparky sparky 
I’ve used 30mm axle collars before on the cross bar between seat and tank worked pretty good and didn’t notice any issues with chassis performance or rubbing .
Been using collars there, but nice idea. Where can buy them individually?
