Re: anyone know what the rear spare tire carrier is made of?
It tests as cast iron....melted a puddle on the back edge, area is now hard as diamond....file has zero bite.
pic attached - note crack at top right of bracket...
so I drilled 1/8" holes at each end of the crack, heated the area around the crack with my oxy torch, tig welded the cracked area with 309L filler a little at a time (peening with an air chisel with blunt pointed bit after each weld section) then dropped in a bucket full of vermiculite I had laying around to slowly cool....we'll see LOL
