[QUOTE="T-Shirt Racer, post: 511203, member: 16493"] Thanks for the input guys, I'll take it back apart and polish the hole. dsmack, I'm hoping it will be fine, it's my throttle hand that's gorilla like, my foots not so bad. kansas, I'm going to make it work one way or the other because I can't afford to let it screw me up in a race because my mind reverts to the wrong pattern. I don't think you can weld a steel bolt to aluminum, the factory uses a steel pin to install the stock ball joint but it's pressed in, then bradded. If I did that I would still end up with the same hole, just a different fastener. I figured IF it weakens or breaks I'll simply have someone repair it with a tig weld then add a 1/4" aluminum bar stock to the top & bottom tig welded on then blend it in with a grinder just to beef it up. It's got plenty of clearance on the top and bottom so that shouldn't be an issue and I think I can make it look good enough to not draw attention. John [/QUOTE]
