Re: oil through frame?!?!

The frame was rather badly welded and had pressurised gas inside it. A pressure gauge was then put on the frame and if the pressure went down then the drivers got out as a crack would have developed in the tube frame... had some pictures of a frame from an original 917... see if I can find them.
