All LH/X (UC???) owners will know that the front guards, behind the front wheel, is a notorious spot for rust. My guards were no different. (many nights [of my youth] spent in grassy paddocks and school ovals chuckin' capers didn't help!!!)
I bought some Rares rust repair panels, measured and marked my guards and cut the offending areas off:
You can see the bits that I've cut off laying on the floor, including some previous owners dodgy repair work.
This was the worst one, I don't seem to have any pics of the other one at this stage.
The new panels went on ok, plus a little extra where the rust had crept up the steel:
I had to refabricate the inner guards/supports as well (you have to fold the edges of the Rares panels over the inner panels):
After welding them fully, grinding back and a bit of etch prime:
A skim of bog to smooth them out and Uncle Bob!
Please ask any questions you may have if I haven't explained anything properly.
If you think you have a better way of doing it, then post the pics and "how to" in this thread.
Enjoy.
