Outriggers - repair or replace?

Clayrr · Mar 11, 2022

Hello all,

Been bouncing around the uk last few days looking at a few 110 td5. All around the 20k price but all seem to have the same rust on the rear chassis outrigger, but as mentioned by @ActionDan seems to be worse than the rest of the chassis. From your experience oh wise sages would you say this is still structually ok and treatable? Seeing some visual flakes so not just surface...

I'm not an MOT inspector, but it's not far off looking to go to holes. It's hard to tell from a picture though. I'd have thought you would be better off looking for one in Spain.

It's not too tricky a job, for a decent welder, to grind off and replace the outriggers. So long as the main chassis is ok!

I'd chop it off and replace before the rust spreads further, clean up and rear what's left
