right side vent damage

[jaykay]

Thanks.....all good advice!

A graft of all one piece might be the way to go for sure .........when I get hold of a donor I will make a call.......the only downside is postioning of the whole thing.

From what I can see in pictures it is only a small tab section on the horizontal that engages the body

It is amazing what can vibrate and come loose.......when I rode bikes I lock wired everything....

Just for information I was able to harvest a tab from an old crappy side vent....I think I will have to go for one that is in better condition.....so it can be done.....just have to be able to get the right gap tolerance upon grafting it on.

PM me if you have an old right side vent you would like to get rid of.....and or the newer style support frames

One interesting thing I might try and use the 03 04 support frames (moded) to stabilize my heavy meshed pieces....since they are open unlike my 00 originals. I had to dump them when I meshed them.....the lack of support may have contributed the tab breaking
