    HELP! Broke my LE14H-1 Frame

    Is this repairable or just garbage now? I just bought 2 back-up drivers for my 250Ti's. They were in separate storage boxes, and I was putting them in my overhead garage storage bin when my shoulder gave out. The driver, though padded well in the box, took a six foot drop to the ground. When I opened the box, here was the end result.Is there anybody that can repair a frame? Thanks.

    ouch

    The cone can be unglued from the frame ( can't save the foam though ) and the magnet can be unbolted and put on another frame BUT you have to find one first.....they are NOT that common...

    BTW this is NOT a home DIY project and should only be done by an experienced service tech.

    Ugh...I bought them in case something happened to one of my LE14H-1's and now something happened to one of my back ups. I guess in the rare event that one my 250's LE-14H-1 drivers needs a repair it will be because of the guts and not the frame. So there is basically no way to fix a frame...just have to replace it.

    Find a welder for aluminium, if he is good he can do it without any cosmetic damage.

    Looks like you have a decent set of "guts" though. So if something happens to your 250ti, it'll most likely just need the guts.

    Nada ,

    you wont weld that without a JIG .... the heat will distort the frame - not to mention the getting the correct alloy match for the filler rod .

    Devcon make some amazing adhesives . I have used there their products on Stainless that has been at risk of heat distortion .
    I glued two pieces of 12mm ST/ST plate and threw it around the workshop and it wouldn't fail .

    You can call their tech department and get advice .

    That would be my first solution and I trained as a welder !

    Good luck , Rich

    My first solution would be to find a junk basket if using a driver complete was an absolute priority. That thing ain't never coming back.

    And yeah, you might glue the corner back on good enough that it won't fall off when you gently place it in a cabinet, but there comes a time when busted is just busted.

    I agree, I think I just need to find a "basketcase basket"....someone who has bad guts but a good frame. I will just have to keep my eyes peeled. Definitely not an emergency.
