new to forum, resto, and safe-t-cap

After having the car sandblasted I found that the torsion bar mount cross members on my '67 Barracuda were quite rotten, especially on the passenger side. I found the Safe-T-Cap site and decided to go that route so I ordered one. I was pleased with the part when it arrived, good heavy construction, nicely cut and welded up strong ... but became quite displeased when I attempted to install it. The torsion cap is a U-shaped piece, made from two pieces of steel. The left side and the bottom are cut from a single piece of metal, then appropriately bent to ninety degrees. The right side is cut to match, and welded to the "L"-shaped piece. Unfortunately, they weled it wrong. Let's see if I can describe this; they welded the edge of the bottom onto the side of the right side piece. They should have welded the bottom edge of the right side piece onto the top of the bottom piece. The way Safe-T-Cap welded it, the holes did not match up from left to right and the piece was too wide to form a snug fit on my crossmember. I had to cut it off and re-weld it.

After discovering this I decided to buy some plate steel and make my own reinforcement for the driver's side. Total cost = $18 + 2 hours of my time.
