Golf Cart front roof supports problem

[2050z]

Problem - Both Front roof support bars are broken again. The supports are breaking right above the top bolt. I have a clay basket mounted to those bars.


Solutions - ????????? I am considering adding a support bar where the windshield folds down. Thinking this would prevent the side to side motion I get when I ride on ranch roads. This should also reduce the windshield bounce I get.

Duct tape!

Picture? I think your right. I would think maybe the twist of the basket when its overloaded from the front is causing the break. Maybe weld a piece of flatbar from the front of the basket back to the vertical roof support. That would take off any twisting downward motion.

A picture would help.
Could you sleve the existing tube with the next size larger tube to reinforce it?

Mine broke in the same exact spot and I just welded it back together. Had to sand some down for looks but left enough on there to hold. Been holding for almost a year so far. If you don’t have access to a welder I would sand it down good and use JB weld.

I tried JB weld and it broke it. I am not a welding, but I will ask my neighbor if he can weld it back together.

That might be from people climbing in and out. Using the riser as a grab bar. not sure the basket weight would break it right there.

Welding it alone wont work, you will need to reinforce it

Will see what we can do to reinforce it

I would try to weld a piece of angle iron on the support

Mine did the same. I welded it back together then added a piece of bar stock to the inside. Good as new now!

If you can get it to Sherman, we can fix it up.
