I've got one pivot brazed the other poorly welded. It looks like the welded one got hot and warped the metal a bit when it was done.
I'm debating what to do, the brazed one is solid and I was able to grind it smooth so it didn't look crappy. I may just add a bit of weld to the other to lock it in. But I'd rather pull em both out and weld in the new pivots I have. My concerns are twofold: 1. The heat from melting out the brazing will warp the body. (Same on melting out the welded pivot) 2. Should I pull off both pivots, how would I make sure the new ones are both aligned properly? Do you lay the trunk with pivots bolted on to mark their spot? TIA.
