Re: Front cut
I was originally planning to repair the chassis legs, but, I found out that the chassis legs are made of a "high strength steel". I believe when welding high strength steels there is a risk of the steel becoming brittle and fracturing, which is why I'm looking to see if I can get some dono...
Front cut
Hi All,
I am looking for a front cut of a RHD FB (1985).
It's mainly both chassis legs I am interested in.
