[QUOTE="clevtrev, post: 17537, member: 187"] Here`s what you do in this situation. The crack is at the end of the tube, quite common, although to call it a crack is wrong, it`s a break, or it was before it was repaired, and that was not up to the job. Drill through from the rear of the lug, fit a piece of solid bar through the hole into the tube, and braze away, takes a LOT of heat. No need to worry about the hole in the lug, its only a hole that`s never used. I welded my one years ago when it went, but yours has had a braze job done on it before, ayt least that`s what it looks like in the picture, but I could be wrong, it obviously happened before you obtained it. That means now it cannot be welded. [/QUOTE]
