12 bolt spring perch welds
« on: July 05, 2015, 12:55:35 PM »
 Finally found the shell of a 67 12 bolt with radius rod bracket. Noted the welds around the spring perches are "beefed up" relative to what I would say was an original weld. How common was it to do this...or am i looking at a repair job?

Weak area. Someone may of reinforced OR repaired. Welds passenger and driver's side ? front and rear? Beads laying like a roll of times or nasty scar.
Sort of joking, but reason I ask, uniform work may lead to some indication of "beefing" it up. Single nasty " scar" might point to repair. Just speculating having no knowledge of your car's prior use. Correct in assuming no leaks?

Post a pic, probably get a few answers ASAP.
