And to really think outside the monkey cage - that same material could be used to return frame rails that had been drilled (to 3/4") back to their original size! A couple thin slices of the tubing welded into the holes would shim them back to 5/8" hole dia. Who-da-thunk-it...



Suppose that could be done, but by the time you went through the process of cutting the tubing to length and welding it into the enlarged frame holes, you might just as well lay a weld bead all around the hole and drill it out fresh. Holding such a thin piece of tubing into a hole in the frame would be a pita, and you will likely have to dress up the new hole anyway.

I pretend to be a welder in real life. Gene
