Seam welding the diff crossmember??

[IainP]

What is the consensus on seam welding the diff mount and its crossmember?

Track car, only an M44, but I am going to be getting off the line quite violently.
Worth it, or just more internet myth?

cheers.

It's what I did - and it has lasted since 2011

This was mine before the repair...

Failed Diff Mount Video (Boot Weld) - zroadster.net

and after...

Thanks for that Sir!
Tomorrow mornings job sorted.

Quite a few zeds that came through the zedshed had the rear ends seem welded. We out sourced it, all are still going strong.

Yep did that too and the rest of the boot seams.

Well, if it ever stops raining here, I’ll zap it.
