G29 Frame/Suspension

[gpetry]

Looking for some help. Recently bought a 2016 Yamaha 48v cart that looked to be in very good shape. Went to add a 6" lift and found the upper control arm mounts and shock towers are very badly rusted. Any ideas where I could find a used complete frame or a front end cut off to repair this? Is this a common problem on these carts? I have the tools and skills to do the job, just looking to chassis swap or weld on a frame section without having to fabricate everything and worry about all of the geometry. Any ideas how to fix my problem?

Was this purchased from someone who lived near the ocean? Happens all the time, that salt spray and salty sand. That's the only way I've ever seen a Yamaha rust out like that.

I'd post an ad in the "parts section" here on the forum.

The cart was purchased in Central Florida - about 60 miles from the Ocean. However, my bet is that it spent most of its time on the coast. We bought it from a private seller who bought it from a local dealer. Pretty obvious that the dealer knew what they were doing and put lipstick on a pig - It is a very good looking cart, and vin verifies its a 2015 or 2016, but once you get below the surface, its a mess. I'm a hot rod guy would and pretty OCD about doing things right and not patching stuff together. we will get this fixed and make it better than new when we are done.
