Must agree it sounds a little grim

Cheers. As a novice builder I didnt dry build it properly, just offered up parts to the frame & thought ''yeah that looks alright''...was going well til I went to fit the rear footboards & found out the l/h frame support for the footboard had been chopped & welded too short! I had to cut a piece of bar & bolt the footboard to that to extend it out an inch, also had to grind the frame off 4 mm so the bridgepiece would sit flush on the bottom of the legshields & with the front of the running board.

Its been a nightmare to be honest & I can forsee a couple of teething problems ahead, but its cheap!

very good sir
