[QUOTE="Flat Bottom, post: 179586, member: 4594"] well there are a few ways you could do it. You could have a gusset piece welded over the crack essentially doing the same thing the metal flat bar is doing. If possible i would find and drill out the end of the crack (to keep it from cracking worse) and grind out the crack enough to get a good weld in it. Lots of other creative idea's that flat bar looks like regular metal, which will cause corrosion wherever it touches the aluminum over time. You can tell by scratching the surface of the flat bar, aluminum is soft and will scratch easily leaving a bright silverish color (new aluminum color) in the scratch. [/QUOTE]
