That's the first thing I noticed to be honest . Mine didn't look too bad but getting stuck in revealed a real horror story .. Sort it properly - NOW !! Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk
^this. If it's the base of the metal collar (one on each side), that's not necessarily too bad. The rear tube will still be supported. If rot has spread to the chassis rails, that's a bigger job.
i was nt suggesting that , but when its rotten it needs proper repair, not a load of fillers pushed in and seam sealed , off which ive seen a lot of over the years
You’ll be pleased to know that it was exactly that, just the bottom of the collar, tube and chassis fine Other side not even as bad All sealed up and painted, hopefully last another 40 years
