Re: [mk2] frame repair at front end

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>>From my experience with this VERY commmon 8V problem is to pull the control 
arm horns back to their initial location (26 and 7/8 from the center of the 
19mm to the center of the other). Weld the cracks and then istall a four 
point lower stress bar and you good to go. Never had a comeback.
