I have got to say, I have looked and looked and can't see any problem with the frame as it is, the two down tubes are less than 6 inchs behind the main tube and give just as much support than if it was closer, maybe a couple of small gussets at the top will help a little and I mean a little. Look at the head stock, its not going anywhere and given the weight of the engine and box, I would be happy to leave it as it is and not even worry about it.

i also thought that the suport tubes are close enough to stop any bending of the frame ,i think ill add a couple of nice thick gussets to them to give it a bit more strength,if it goes tits up ,then ill do it the other way on my next build,

Mr B, I hope you're not thinking of selling after you've got this far?! It's easy to assume everyone knows everything, but if you've never built anything before, it's tough to know where to start, or who to ask for help. We don't pretend to be experts, but there's a lot of info available here. All ya gotta do is ask.  |

Gorra agree with Andy here m8, i know naff all at best i know bits and pieces but ive got to understand more by all the peeps input on these forums and pd some to do work i cant do, so maybe my build is taking longer? but its a dream that id like to see finished before medical s**t is gonna take over  so plz dont give up  |

Worth spending out if you have to, to get the bits done that you're struggling with, as it'll sell for a lot more as a finished article with MSVA!
