Yes - https://www.deloreango.com/nl/lower-con ... plate.html

I haven't taken a photo of them yet, but it's a laser cut steel plate - you would need 2.

These are the plates from the club shop:

That picture looks familiar

Thanks Arran and Dan. Looking good and that wil save me time.
Mec: sorry for taking over your post.
Could you post some more detailed pics from the the frame when you get it home? Great that we can follow your restoration. Keep up the good work!

I have a few pics to post from Alex as he has already made a start, I will continue to post progress posts as Alex sends me more pics

Hi all

A small update for you, the chassis as you know is now at Alex's, he has it all set up and has started work ...







As you can see all of the repair areas have been marked up no matter how big or small, the total is around 70 repairs !

the following pics are the 1st area that has been started, this is under the rear dog bone section (now removed), poor previous repairs have caused a lot of the problems on my chassis, so these are all being removed and done properly.







hopefully more updates from Alex to come over the weekend

I have also been doing a bit of work in the garage, i now have the front wheel bearings removed from the front hubs and also driveshafts disassembled, these are a bit worse for ware, with not a lot of grease in them..





So now i have another batch of stuff to go to the blasters/coaters..



That's all for now folk's

OK I've received a few quite disturbing images from Alex...

this is the big plate that was "welded" on the front underside ..






Then the following is what lay beneath or rather what didn't lay beneath...






Then the final image below is what happened to the front end after Alex literally lent on it, it was an accident waiting to happen...



So it turns out all that was holding the front end in the right place was that plate

I can say that i am Sooooo glad I decided to do a frame off now as i think if it were to be used any more as Julian said on a previous post something very bad would have happened
