[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 107190, member: 437"] I'm going to say that crack was caused by stress from excessive flex in that rib. That's probably why it started leaking again. It is hard to tell from the close up pictures as to where the crack actually is. If that is the case, it is going to need some sort of backing plate added either inside or outside of the rib to spread the load or the repair is liable to crack again. Most areas have welding shops that take outside work. I would find one that knows their way around a tig and let them take care of it. [/QUOTE]
