[TR] TR2/3 rear cross-member repair

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
A good friend has recently become a TR3 owner and while looking over the 
car a bit more carefully, he noticed that the rear cross-member that 
supports the rear spring mount has rusted pretty badly and is actually 
close to fracturing.
I recall seeing a repair technique somewhere that involved pressing or 
pounding a round tube into the cross-member, then welding to complete 
the repair and further strengthen the tube,
Anyone recall the source of the repair? Are we on the right track with 
this one? The I.D. of the rear member is approx. 1 1/16". Would a 1" 
tube work? Pretty hard to find stock tubing that would be a tighter fit.
Thanks for any advice on this one.
