Received my new Grade 8 bolts from McMaster Carr to replace the cheap Chinese grade 5s that have actually bent on my lower Mustang 2 suspension arms,the roads round here are little more than tarmac farm tracks.
I cleaned up/ground the crossmember to add extra strengthening gussets to try and eliminate any further problems.

Just need to call in the services of my friend Gerry who i'll get to weld the gussets in more substantually this time!
