Is galvanised right route?
Malcy:
Hi
I need to replace the chassis on my 1991 90 since it seems to be predominantly an interesting composite of mud, cow sh13 and bitumen with the odd bit of metal left here and there - but not where the welds need to lock onto the chassis.
Several people have said go for galvanised whilst others have said not worth the extra. Do any of you guys have views and experience of this and if so what is "best" conclusion?
Thanks and best wishes
Malcy

I'm not sure what the price difference is but a chassis can last 20 plus years so I'd have thought it's not worth much of a price premium. And every hole you drill needs treating to maintian the galvanisation.
PITA is my vote!

But that's it you can't can you?
One good rock and it's breaks the surface or am I wrong?
Out of interest how much more do they cost?
