I have just stripped the rear end off the frame of my 1950 MGTD. I have
very little history on this car other than the car last saw the road in
approx 1976 when its owner died and it was sitting in storage until I
purchased it last year. I have determined that it was in a fairly bad
accident in approx 1951 or early 52 and was repaired but the frame was
not straightened even though it was BENT. I have had the frame repaired
properly, replaced all of the broken and cracked suspension pieces and
rebuilt the tub. Once the frame was stripped and repainted I started
working on the bits and pieces that attach to the frame, including the
rear end. Now that it is stripped I find that the U bolts have worked
themselves into the casing and worn grooves.

My question is...I have purchased the plates that go around the axle but
should I MIG weld the grooves and grind them down or can they be left.

Thanks
Brian
