So I dropped the motor and what do I see?:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1290372313.1.jpg) Can I just re-weld this, or do I need to remove the whole piece and put in a new one? I suppose I should do both sides while I am at it? Any suggestions? Stu |

I would think you should replace the console and not just weld metal over the failed part. They tend to rust from the inside out (like everything else on our cars) That's why they can look good right up to the day they fail. I bought one for the passenger side from resto design last summer. Scotty B should be doing the install soon. Mark
