I have a 1978 250 KTM and a 1979 400 KTM both have cracked/broken frames.
Both have been welded once already with disastrous results.
 The 250 has about a 50-50 chance of a salvageable repair but the 400 is about as ugly as it gets.
 I have easy access to a 1980 frame that is perfect but the motor mounts are different.
 If anyone has a 1978 or 79 frame they would like to sell I would sure like to talk to you
I am in south central Pennsylvania

The 79 frame has some flattened tubing on one side at the bottom, so if anyone has a better one please chime in. Mike
