Some steep climbs with rocks, to Fast as per usual.

But looking at the welds, they are bad,
I did them with last of the Gas and the end of the wire reel not feeding properly.
Plan to mount the front box with four mounts as it seems to get more movement/stress then the rear.

Strange I would bet the rear would have more stress than the front.....

The current job is to build a new Gearbox mount in 3mm steel and Thick wall tube, as 2mm steel and exhaust tube are not up to it...

Jobs done
After some more "Espionage" ;) in France, have added some Gussets
