damaged frame

hi. iv had this frame for a while and have always thought that the area where the swingarm bolts on was damaged. but now think that it is supposed to be like that. coz i put a swingarm on it today stuck an engine in it and it ran about no bother everything was nice and tight after a good 15 min ride anyway hopefully someone on here has the same frame and can tell me if this is how its meant to be or not also this frame will probably be up for sale if its OK so offers people would swap for other parts

cheers, Danny

Re: damaged frame

lol,

In my opinion and the way it looks to me i think the swing arm spindle lugs have snapped off and whoever has just bodged a hollow axel/tube through it..

Re: damaged frame

cheers bud yea i thought it would be OK the swingarm was solid today the other little problem is the holes for the engine bolt near the swingarm bolt hole are stretched i had no problem putting an engine in today and it was solid in there but would this cause problems for the potential buyer if i go on to sell it
