Hey Folks,
I found a cracked diff mount - RH front side. The classic incarnation of
this widely seen problem. Anyways, I was referred to a frame expert who
has made repairs of this type before on LBCs. He proceeded to tell me
that there are critical points on the frame that are subject to heat
distortion and must therefore be treated with special care to avoid
this. He is of the opinion that diff mounts are in this category. Is
that the general consensus?
Ideally, I'd like to have someone do the weld work in my garage, so I
can pull the diff, et al and then not have to move the car. What
preparation steps should I follow in order to save the greatest amount
of labor costs for the weld work? What special precautions are needed to
avoid weld distortion of the frame?
Time I have. Welding experience and money- I don't. The best option for
me would be to do all prep-work, and then have a qualified welder (which
kind?) make a house-call...
Thanx in advance,
Pete
