Fred,there is a bolt that is horizontal that keeps it all together.
I was instructed to peel as much rubber out as possible,it leaves a gap on both sides.It gets filled solid with weld,no washers.Every spot that moves is welded up solid.I have several thousand miles on mine,no troubles.

Alvin,you are correct,he could cut them off and do some grinding and install perches.But,I think he still would of had trouble with the guy that did his welding,resulting in the same situation.He needs a guy that knows how to weld.

Drew,I hope you can recover some of your loss from the guy.

Drew,what kind of welder did he use ?
Can you post some pictures of the welds ?
