[QUOTE="MrTotty, post: 326403, member: 2763"] I'm not sure that stuff will bond a crack in this location. I've got some of it, and last time I used it it warped the crap out of the aluminum. I was able to take a punch and knock it right back out of the hole, it didn't bond very well at all. If I apply heat I'd go with welding. Not sure how well this will work, but I may extend the knee brace a few inches, reinforce the top to get the load off of that last rivet and see how that works. I will be bucking all the rivets (new) to replace what came out of it. I think the most important thing is stopping the crack. [/QUOTE]
