[QUOTE="Mojo^, post: 245696, member: 5456"] Just welding won't stop the crack. You need to drill a small hole at each end (drill stop) of the crack to stop it from progressing and then have it welded. The trick is finding the true ends of the crack. I doubt you have access to a dye penetrant system so I'd use a good magnifying glass to find the ends. If you really want to be really sure, you can buy a can of Spotcheck 01-5150-77 Dye Penetrant for around $17 and use a blacklight. [/QUOTE]
