I plan to use MIG welding to repair frame. Thanks for your help.

I welded the broken piece back in. Looks good. The steady rod screw fits great/flush with the cross member. Do you recommend a thin rubber washer or something between the counter sunk bolt head and the floor? Or Should it be just metal on metal?

the head of the bolt to the floor or do you mean to say the head of the bolt and the frame? If so there is nothing between the head of the bolt and the frame Do use a lockwasher next to the attachment nut on the special bolt.

Yes, I mean the frame. Should I use a standard lock washer or a star type conical lock washer...this type was sent to me by southside obsolute parts.

The attachment bolt uses a split type lock washer, just above the nut. The conical lock washer was used on later production. 34 was the last year to use a nut to attach the rod to the frame. In 35 the special attachment bolt threaded directly into the rod, so a nut was not necessary. They then used the conical lockwasher under the head of the special bolt, to hold it in place.

thanks for the details, so I should just go with the standard split washer for my 1933.
