God damnit, that was an expensive ride.

Now I’m trying to find one identical to this so I can use it for parts. I just hope this isn’t a common issue with this frame and that I just got unlucky with mine.

Would’ve been an easy fix if the frame were steel - but from what I understand, welding isn’t really an option with these alloy frames.

This, if the factory can do it then a skilled craftsman can as well. Talk to some local fab shops, I'm sure you can find someone skilled in AL welding that can fix you up
