Sweet! That's what I want to hear. The plan is to channel the crack and weld it with the swingarm acting as a jig. Good info on the plate, I think that's smart. Any specific thickness you used for the plate?
Views of the crack from the inside and outside as best I can. Pretty sure this frame has been held together with literal pig shite from sitting in a field for the last 20 years.
