The early Elsinores only has a very rudimentary chain roller so as we have the frame completely stripped we have decided to add a bracket for a better one. This was fabricated from some scrap steel left over from a packing case a new bike arrived in. So Kevin was allowed to use the hacksaw (we don't normally let him play with sharp things on quick look at the picture will explain it all!!!) and files.
	All joking aside he soon had a very reasonable bracket produced that looks like it will do the job perfectly, with a slot to allow for fine adjustment. This was offered up to the chassis near to where the redundant side stand bracket had been cut off.
And welded up saving a bit of weight and making space for the chain roller bracket, but it is obviously important to plate over the hole produced by cutting off the bracket first as this keeps the chassis strong.
	The broken exhaust mounting was also repaired by welding a stud into the hole left where the original bracket had broken off. The only thing left to do to the frame is to reinforce the very weak steering lock stop on the head stock as these often get knocked off when racing hard. Part 4
