Yes, Bob, they did indeed suffer from cracked frames, but fortunately my wagon has the reinforced chassis, brought in towards the end of production, which cured the problem (I hope!) However I have just realised that one of Lavender's was also fitted with the reinforcement plates from new, so perhaps they didn't solve it. However, I won't be carrying the sort of loads these would have run with commercially, so I think we should be OK.
