Most garages can weld. You can always buy Jim's DIY kit and get a garage to weld it in.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

He dont do the kit anymore. Im just gonna repair one next week doing the same as jimmy. As for how common they are, I've owned 2 6's and both cracked. Daveyboy repaired my current 6s chassis and I must say, it was a cracking job done by him and I'd recommend him to anyone.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Yeah most garages do welding, its another thing if they are any good when this part has to be well done due to engine movement force etc.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
