(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Hi gals and dude! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)
Got a question for ya--was up under my new tub throwing my mojo down and with all the paint and undercoat gone I spotted these: Reinforcements between the rear sus ears. I have seen a few threads of people taking these apart and back together and such, but , alas, I do not remember seeing these? Was I just missing something?? TIA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) Attached image(s)

looks like a PO modification/fix...I think I see MIG welding wire stuck on the surface....I'd double check that area for cracks....you might want to get a block of wood and put it up against the ear and smack it with a nice heavy hammer to feel how solid the repair is......

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) OK--went out and tried to move some stuff--solid as a rock!! They are formed almost perfectly--and really herki--I am guessing 12-14ga mild steel... They are formed so damn well I was wondering ifn it was a mod way back when??? Mayby the person who has seen / done this before might be a member???--Don't get me wrong, I ain't bitchin---looks like a really well done reinforcement job--and yes those are mig welder strands--so maybe,,not too long ago?? Or, How long have migs been available?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

Only lit myself on fire bout 6 times (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) |

So that means the crappy welding and MIG welding wire are from the factory? And JP, you went to the trouble to clean the factory job up? Anyone else do this? |

Yeah, the factory welds aren't exactly pretty, but we are talking about 70's production line welding. So I don't think you can really blame them. I plan on cleaning up the welds on my aubergine car. I'm gonna go psycho on it. Way over the top.

Every teener I have been under has those. I first thought it was a Po installed deal, but after seeing it on other cars I figured the factory did it.
