Also, the seat latch bar needs reinforcing.

If I had to do it all over again I would have made it a 3/16 plate than that thin metal that there.

I also did corner gussets on my lower tubes where the engine mounts on a horizontal plane and both down tubes.

So far it all help except I just found a good crack on the left side swinger mount just like you have in the first picture.

Had these pics posted on the old HQ site, thought they might help out any one else that is re doing a frame.
