My 1200 windscreen support frame fractured on both sides during a recent Baviaans /Die Hel trip. Any suggestions as regards a possible weld repair or where I can get an inexpensive replacement?

I have seen this problem many times before.We can weld it,best way of doing this would be to weld it to the side posts where the support bolts into.Otherwise it will crack and break again.Screw these parts back onto the windscreen adjuster supports and then we weld it all together and have it spray painted afterwards to make it look new.  

Please contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

Just to say thanks to Jandre at JKWorks for sorting out my broken windscreen frame.

Had the broken part welded together and then welded into the sub-frame as looks like an inherent weakness where the support has been notched out to take the windscreen supports. Cheaper than buying a second hand part and much more robust solution. 

Thanks Jandre!
