I just brought my frame back from the blaster, and have a couple of questions for the experts-
1. My radius arms were crusty when they went to the blaster, now they are showing some pitting where they attach to the frame. Is this amount of pitting OK, or should I think about replacing them? -OR- can I weld and grind them back into spec. (I've never done this before, but thought it might be possible)
2. I am not impressed with the factory welds, most seem pretty ugly. The attached photo is one that I am not sure about. Looks like some burn through and overall uglyness. Any concerns about the strength of this one?
Thanks in advance!
