Lovely welding, but I hope you are putting some strength in elsewhere as those framehorns have been severely weakened...

I have thought of that Ricola...ran out of time to do that part (quit rushing me! )

The steel I used to "fill in" the part I cut out is 1/4" thick and is fully welded, but will add some material under the frame horns just in case.

I didn't realize the CVs on the 915 conversion were that much of a clearance issue?
Pretty easy to beef that area back up though. Work is looking awesome!
