She has definately had a hard life
![]() That chassis is a mess Personally I would look for another chassis. F15A and add the double rail at rear and transfer winch mounts and assorted bits

I agree with AJ. I was hoping you just had some small cracks that were easy fixed. It looks like you might need some new spring hangers as well as the repairs. Good luck you have a lot of work there. The MB-F1 recomends hot riveting chanel or angle reinforcing behind the weld and welding the outside edges together.

Not so much a hard life as a poorly designed jib. FGT chassis needs stiffening to fit a jib, they're only 15 cwt (ie. single thickness chassis rails) and the winch is located in the narrow section of the chassis rail, aft of the taper from the midsection. There's just no strength there, and with a jib fitted the winch cable pulls UP on the chassis rails instead of ALONG as designed. Unless they're stiffened like the pic below they'll bend and crack like Jason's. My FGT9 chassis is the same.

Jason,
See how you go with the source Lionel provided, and if no good there, let me know. I may have another source for you, but it is signifigantly further away from Toowoomba. Not far from Gladstone, in fact. I would need to speak with the guy first, to find out that he would actually sell a chassis, but it is certainly a possibility.
