[QUOTE="jvanhees, post: 308118, member: 11205"] The large red circle is the main crack, and will be tig welded. The small red circle is the other crack I found...much smaller but will still need welding. The green circle is to show the that riveted seam..and it leaks alot across the whole seam..even with the junk from the PO. [img]https://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/jvanhees/photo2.jpg[/img] The blue rectangle shows the main problem area....how would you fix this? 1) Do I weld the 2 cracks, replace each rivet and seal with steeflex over top of it all? Will that be enough? 2) Weld the entire seal where the rivets are now all the way around the rectangle piece of aluminum(edge where marker lines point to), and also replace the rivets inside the welds...then steelflex? 3) Form a new piece of aluminum to go over what is currently there, extend wider by an inch on each side, and fully weld it in...covering over the entire area with a new peice of metal. Need some advise here! :? [img]https://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt203/jvanhees/photo21.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
