changing and welding chromoly tube on RM 250 Frame?

<< < (2/2)

kxpegger:
You might be able to use a Dremel to cut a half section of your tubing out. Take the same piece you just removed and flip it around and weld it back into the remaining portion of the frame tubibg for a concave section. You should then also find a way to gusset or strengthen the area where you have made the modification in case this weakens the tubing. Now you just have to figure what type of welding rod to use with your TIG.

One thing I read about on doing conversions is use a jack to spread the frame, the people who were doing it were working with aluminum frames& just stuffing a bottle jack in there & making room where they needed. Should work easier with chromoly. Also be careful how low you drop the motor as it might cause kicker interference. Are you using the k5 motor? If so I really wanna see pics on this build
