"EVERY A body has this problem"
Yep,on my 75
Saw some cracking and cleaned it off. It had been welded before.
Cut it out. I was able to clean up and reuse the cage for the nut and weld it back on. used same material thicknesses for the repair
Granted the qtr was off and I was able to get to both sides to weld the 2 plates in easily.
