Yes... new basket and re-cone.

I have a few 18" 12-spokes used for sale around the shop if you can't get one @ a good price.

Ouchy. Yep, definitely need to change that basket out.

If it was a little 1" break or so I'd say jb weld, but you royally jacked that basket up.

No way in hell you did that with your hands. You either used a prybar or tried to flip the box on the side to slide it out.

I saw a konaki that was very messed up jb welded. it wouldnt hurt to try it if you are running low on cash. but most likely a new basket is needed

Nah, I could see him breaking it by trying to lift it out at an angle.

Sand casket baskets don't bend very much. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I did not see that huge break. If that is broken all the way down that side just get a new basket. I just saw right by the screw hole. now down the whole edge

holy dicks in my ***! you f'ed that up. i still think you should try to fix it first. then if that dont work at all then new basket and recone.
