Another (cracking) job by Dan!
Silverfish 1992 Another Yeti ARC
- Thread starter Silverfish

Naive question there: will the welding repair stands forever? I was told that to prevent further tube cracking, you have to drill or cut the neighborhood of the crack to stop its propagation. Is this what Dan did when you said that he "v-cuts" (what's that?) the crack? And then filling the gap with filler metal while welding?

Should do yes.
Pretty sure that’s what a V Cut does.
And that Dan and FTW offer the same repair.
Or complete HT replacement.
I wanted to keep it as original as possible so opted for the repair.

Nice repair and welds there, so kudos Dan. I think black or silver will be perfect and a bit refreshing!

I plan to build this one with lots of cool shit and not worry too much about making it 92 period spec

I wouldn’t worry about period either, just a rad little frame with some killer components is always fun. Now you have me thinking about a summer ARC project!

Image sizes updated, Still a lot of work to do on this one yet though I have acquired most of the parts I need to finish the build as soon as I get the frame back from Al...
