Let's see, if the frame can be repaired, corrosion isn't a problem. But the OEM couldn't do it right with virgin steel. Ummm. How many times have we read that some "tech/saleman/rep" has led us astray with what is OK? My point is to find someone who doesn't have hands in your pocket to actually determine the cause of the original failure and possible fixes. I'm not a welder, but I suspect that for a weld to hold the underlying metal needs to be clean and defect free. Keep us informed, please. We are all in this together...(Red Green, for all those northwesterners/Canadian TV viewers).
