Original frames are Renold 531....plenty of info online re how to join it.......but note existing frames are 50 plus years old and brazed so serious inspection for internal corrosion needed.......Steve

Reynolds 531 is high tensile steel tubing. You weld it, you weaken it and potentially ruin the structural integrity of the car.
Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand this and weld it anyway.
At least I know that my engine frames are correct. I wonder how many others can say the same.
