How much plating are ya talking about? any pics?

Yeah I figured I'd get the brace that replace the lil brace/spacer job, and just keep an eye out for more cracks. two of the bolts for the steering box were a lil loose so that didnt help much...

Ok i'll see about getting some more metal. Scotters ya know the jetta is looonngg gone :( but I'm glad to see it go the way of the dodo bird :D

Finding somebody that has the knowledge/skills was the hard part :D

thanks 4.3, I was meaning anybody that had a pic, but I like them all! :D

I couldnt find Ironman's trackbar mount like you...

do you have any pics of what was done?

I cant weld so I wont be able to do any of it, and I dont think this is something to learn on lol

thats a good idea about just welding the existing plate there.

yeah about that, I dont want my learning to start on my frame lol

I cant do either :(

Yeah I'm thinking just weld the crack, then weld plate over it

The other really is fuzzy but you can see the crack. Here's an image for the vision impaired :D
