Peter,
That makes sense. No wonder the subframe broke. I'll get some bushings on order from Claridges.

Dave,
I'm going to rent a wire feed unit from Home Depot. They have 'em for 30 bux a day. Probably have to buy a spool of wire too. I'll spend half a day practicing on scrap, then go for it.
Thanks for the encourgement.
