Picked up the frame today, dropped it off at 9am and picked up by 3pm,bloody quick and bloody cheap. And looks bloody good as well.
Thumbs up to Aviation Welding Australia. Much better than the pro job in your photo :thumb:

I'll bet they didn't put the gusset strength on as good as Hifi's guy...

no they didn't, bit of a bummer really as it would of added much needed weight to my rig. Looks like his bloke was trying to melt weight off his frame and went to far
the hairline crack was just under the original weld, photos of crack wont upload from my crappy phone. I plan on heat treating it with a hair dryer if people think that is needed :whistle: I don't think it will be needed with my softcock riding style anyway

So the solution was to run a weld over the crack?

nar, that's what I asked them to do, my solution. From what little research I have done it appears that aircraft cracks are welded and hold up fine. A few years ago a mate had a cracked motorbike frame (alum) and the repair was to run a weld over the crack, it was never a prob as it was only a hairline one and the bike held up for the years I knew him. I think some things are just worried about too much
the crack was so thin you needed a mag glass to spot it
