Re: Rear suspension rework

I didn't want to build a bridge over the axle so I decided to weld the tabs to the pumpkin. I bought some Nickel99 rod (holy **** that's expensive). Preheated the housing, welded it with the nickel rod, and peened it with an air hammer as it cooled. No cracks! It should hold up just fine but if it ever cracks Ill build a bridge and fix it.
