Not all of the remaining metal was thick enough to take a weld so repaired bits by sandwiching between 2 bits of steel.
Other botch while at it, is the car battery fitted on the platform in front of the seat. It was cheaper than a new small battery to fit unde the seat. Extended the leads to reach.

Going for broke here. The old teleporter needed a new air filter (totally allowed even in this thread, reused filters should have a thread of their own titled 'dickheads'). The unit cap fell apart when it was taken off so needing to prevent dirt going in the back I devised an 'airfilter emergency repair kit' using one old sheep nuts bag and two bits of old twine tied togeth
This is only a temporary measure of course until it needs a new bag.
