Thanks mate Have not done anything to the tube, will just weld it up when i strip everything off the frame as the crack is not cracked right through the tube and there is no movement in the frame all good

Got some work done on the steel structure on the rear end of the frame, gave it some paint and welded in more Steel gussets.

Got some V clamps looks like i may have to pull the bigger clamp apart and cut it to size. The one that is closest to the size was ~25 mm short if i use this clamp i think it may leak.

Got a 16 mm thick plate to machine up the two v band flanges and got a scrap piece of ss tube will have a go at making a concentric reducer out of the tube.

Or you could just cut a chunk out of the Vee band and TIG the ends back together with a strap reinforcer? Vee band clamps usually don't seal anything, they just ensure the parts being joined are tightly held together - usually machined face to machined face.

Are you getting much done, with the self isolating thing going on

Yeah that might work, i have a couple of these clamps so if i stuff one up can try again with a different approach.

Yeah have been doing a lot of house projects as well with the trike project. I have plenty to do and really it's not self isolating we still can go shop for food and get fuel, get to medical appointments ect, ect you just don't walk around window shopping just get what you need and go home. As i work in the health industry i can shop on Tues and Thurs from 7 am to 8 am before everyone else and same thing with my local hardware store, it's good as not many people around and when you do 10 hour shifts you don't get the time to shop or you are too tired to shop.
