Can anyone advise me on welding a rear swinging arm on a 125 motorcycle for its mot , I can do the work myself no problem, but is welding something structural like this acceptable for the mot tester.
You’d be better sourcing a used replacement
Fell over a little bit. Need an advice.
Exhaust guard is kept "in place" by a cable tie. I couldn't find a replacement for that guard so I will use exhaust glue (that's what ebay offers). I also found that an aluminium foil tape (heat resistant) can be used to repair these cracks. Would it be ok to use that tape? I won't wrap all over the guard obviously.

Just an update on this. I rang another mot testing place and he quoted the manual "as long as its as strong as original and the repair replaces the rotten metal section completely then it's acceptable" and as this was what I planned anyway were good to go.
