Ouroborus Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 The ebay bargain that i bought turned out to be less of one when the part of the chassis was found floating around in the box. Somebody had a go at replacing the coupler and in doing so, seems to have mangled the chassis. It doesn't quite locate, but not far off. What is peoples advice for repairing these types of damage to old Lima chassis. Is it a case of an epoxy job or can some of the plastic weld type stuff fix it. I'm minded to 3d print a frame to this because i fear most types of gluing or welding are going to fail without some form of bracing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold sjp23480 Posted June 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2020 If there is space, I would use the broken piece as a template to cut a piece of plasticard with two "arms" to reinforce the joint and remount the broken part on the chassis.
