Decided to use aircraft safety wire instead of welding…pictures detail the repair. The repair itself took about 30 min.

Good temporary fix, but I agree with the Capt'n - you will have failure of the other welds unless this one is fixed properly. What happens is that once one of the welds is broken, the longitudinal stress has to be supported by the remaining welds - so their stress level goes up, and those welds will fail. Might be 5 months, might be 5 years, but it will happen.
Great photos though!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |
