It's difficult to fix that without damaging plastic parts which are in the bearing areas and which are irreplaceable. You would need to be welding right next to those plastic parts. You might be better off looking for a better beam. If you find one, be sure to salvage all the internals from the old one. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
