BLASTERMAN11 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 just bought a banshee wednesday an rode it today, noticed the left peg was loose so i was gonna tighten the bolts and it just spun. took the peg bolts out to finde that the previos owner had broken the external original frame nut that holds the peg and tried to weld it back but it's now broke again, my question being what is my best option for fixing it? the welds didn't look very good at all, would i be ok to just weld it back? just looking for some options/ opinions Quote
ric-ross1 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 The previos owner of mine broke it and bought a long ass bolt that goes from one side to the other side of the frame and i have the pegs there, just had to make the hole a lilttle bigger on the pegs.(the bolt closest to the rear tire, not the first bolt).

BLASTERMAN11 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Posted January 14, 2013 mines the front bolt, i done the same drilled a hole through the back side of the frame an done it like that but the stock nut sticks out a little bit to bolt the peg on flush, my problem there being that i had to grind all there bs welds off to make everything flat again and had to use a spacer with my bolt set up, the bolt having the spacer between the peg and the frame made it weak and i bent it again today jumping it so i gotta figure sumthin else out Quote
ric-ross1 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Dang, not sure about that one because the frame doesnt go from side to side there, but maybe someone here has had this problem before. Good luck bud. Quote

locogato11283 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I cut them out totally and weld tapped inserts in. I have my local machine shop make me the pieces. Then I have more than a 1/4" nut holding my ass up. Quote

troyzstang Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 Did the same as Tyler recommended. Adam ( tick tock) made a bung style insert and welded that in place. Works perfect and looks better then stock set up. You can also reverse a lug nut and put that in the existing hole then weld that in place. Good luck Troy Quote
