This Alloy motorcycle frame was brought to us when the customer, having taken the engine out, noticed that the box section rear cross member wasn't actually fixed to the main frame. It seemed as if the weld had cracked. However, when we ground the metal away to provide a good chamfer for re-welding, we found that the cross member was anodised where it entered into the side part of the frame. It appears that it was never properly welded in the first place! With the engine installed, the engine mounting bolts held everything together so the fault never became apparent until the engine was taken out.
Not the neatest of welds but good & strong & definitely joining both parts together!

Thanks for sharing this informative post with us. I am also looking for Anodised repairs service for my office building.
