Nice one, it's like an grown up version of 'how to replace a PK Ripper seat tube'...

Cool :)

downlowmatt:
Don't worry chaps, thanks for the offers of help, but I contacted Graeme around a year ago who put me on to his talented mate Mick...

Mick lives way up in the North East but wey-hey man he knows how to work metal... this is what he did...

First an oversize piece of ally was machined from a block...



.. it was then roughly fitted to the frame....



.. tig wleded in and then ground down to size ...



.. and the slit cut in...



... pretty amazing in my opinion.....
