[QUOTE="Golden Gate, post: 51254, member: 5792"] Screw the kits, DIY,(2)IMO if your suspected break is ACTUALLY in a weld and not in flat steel open it up with a grinder. Do yourself a favor if you are not the one WHO will fix it Don't be the one to open it up reason being you may create more work for the one that has to fix it. If you are thinking there are stress cracks there probably are. Myself I am a decent welder confident and comfortable doing it but when it comes to structure or safety I call the professional(in my case its my friend) and I have seen cracks in both but IMO its hard to crack a proper weld usually you will crack the metal around it, in other words the weld is normally stonger then the metal around it. I have experiece with both issues a weld I would actually fix my self... stress fractures on the other hand I hand to my buddy just because it takes much higher heat and specialized sticks to do it right, carbon arc( I have had some really bad stress fractures) This is all in my opinion and I would be interested in hearing about what you find out [/QUOTE]
