I'm fixing up a worn Vistalite kit and ordered Weld-On #4 and Novus.
The second tom has a crack from the muffler to the opposite lug hole which separates in the middle, i.e. the sides of the crack do not mate well. How would you fix something like this?
I'm considering:
- Doing nothing; leaving it be.
- Applying Weld-On to the extreme ends of the crack, to hopefully keep the crack from growing
- Rigging some kind of complex clamp system to try to force the shell to mate better, and then applying Weld-On #4 to bond it closed. (Least likely option)
The dark line in the photo is the visible, offset part of the crack looking down the shell.
