Hang in there. You know by now Crap happens that's out of your control. The court will suck and take time. You may have no choice on that one. I'm interested to see how the weld turns out. If you get time take some pics of the repair. Magnaflux would have shown the crack for sure if he looked everywhere. I'm not sure I have ever heard of one cracking there. Good luck!
