Dan can this be confirmed? Personally i've only seen about 3 or 4 frames like this in my time and most of the gussets all looked slightly different i.e. shape/welds etc.. nearly all of them looked like fix-up jobs.


--- Quote from: dannywhiteley on February 24, 2009, 07:05 PM ---Im sure the plain solid gussets were a quick fix by Ammaco in response to all the cracked 'cut-out' gussets.  An interim measure before the embossed gusset was developed.

Basically its a gen 1.5, midway between the more common cut out and embossed gussets.  Makes sense why so few have surfaced, they wouldnt have been around for long.
