MECCANO Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 We had to do ours, unfortunately we didnt take any picks. We got ours form the 101 club, nicely made. it took 2 days with an angle grinder and big hammer. we took the rear load bay off as well which made life alot easier. its no worse than doing it on a series.. its jsut on a bigger scale.

Litch Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 When I did mine replacement chassis parts weren't available so I had to make my own (this was back in about 1993). Luckily I had access to a fully equipped workshop at the time and I made up a new cross-memebr from scratch and though I say it myself, I don't think you could tell the difference from my finished product and an original one. The biggest problem is that there are several layers of metal which makes for quite a complex structure and if the rot has really taken hold then it all has to be replaced. Having said all that, now replacements are available it will be a much easier job for you with none of the fabrication I had to go through.
