Default I've cut the ends off replaced

Hi Richard

I had a similar problem with my Patter 12 C60L, all the threaded ends broke off. Lacking replacement links, measured the rods cut off the damaged section and welded on grade 8 bolts. No problems in 2 years of driving.

One of the reasons I went this route was my HUP has broken the original welds on the shock links one at a time over the years. Just ground off the old weld material and rewelded, never have had a new weld brake again.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers Phil
