V8 Spool K-Member I got SCREWED (Not by a FABO Member)

The welding and grinding on the pinch where the top and bottom meet should have been an indication that something happened to this K, and instead of fixing it the correct way, was patched together. In order to sucessfully rebend this to work, you may have to grind off the weld there and release the top to allow it to move back into position!! Geof
