    PM3L upper mount tearing spotwelds

    Under the car yesterday and the right upper control arm mount is tearing apart. I understand we can't use the repair kit?

    I thought we could use the repair kit. At least I'm considering installing the repair or reinforcement kit as the car gets built. Seems like I had an e-mail or pm exchange with Al or Glenn about this.

    Michael has a kit (spent overnight money to ship it in) but did not install it because he said you thought it was not okay. I think the kit has bolts that go through the floor pan. I do not have mine on a lift and just getting everything back exactly where it goes is not going to be easy. I'm not sure it can be done without removing more parts and/or getting it on a lift. I was thinking about a sheet metal bracket that welds to the frame and to the mount but I assumed that would not be okay. I was going to ask first.

    The kit I bought has reinforcement pieces that go on the inside and outside of the car which was deemed illegal. These were not installed. Al said the directors were going to talk in the off season and come up with a solution for us.
