Split top subframe turret.

[InimiaD]

I noticed this split / crack in the top of a (soon to be scrapped ) wet subframe.
Not sure of the precise age, but guessing at 66 / 67 vintage.
Has anyone else experienced something similar.?

[66S]

Yep, not at all uncommon. The crack can be welded but it would be better to find another subframe, if you can.

Yes, they can crack in a number of places. I'd weld it, there is no need to throw it out. I've repaired countless numbers of them without worry.

grind it clean, and a good weld,would be a good repair and last for years,without any worries
