ive just been prepping my kart and noticed a huge crack on the engine side chassis rail,just opposite where the fuel tank is.it almost spaqns the circumference of the tube!

i have a garage near me that has welded stuff for me before so i will probably go to him,i was just wondering what is the best way to go about this

is it allowed to use a sleeve to reinforce the tubing in tkm?

or would a straight weld do the job?

any thoughts much appreciated as im going to the welders tomorrow morning and racing this weekend

incidentally,in the final last weekend,the last few laps,i thought i had buckled my axle on the engine side as there was a lot of vibration,the next thing i find the bumper bolt had snapped and i got a mechanical flag.i assume the vinration was from the chassis rail adn the extra flex that was occuring was the reason the bumper bolt sheered
