Gixer1460 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Shouldn't be a problem - weird place for a crack......usually through or beside a weld or has someone been to enthusiastic with a grinder? Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yes that wouldn't be a problem to repair I've done worse than that as long as the right filler rods are used Quote Link to comment
