Weld it no no it removes the heat treat snaps in half. Strap it like he did good deal.

Geoffff is good and enjoying a hot, sunny morning on Shell Island. It is raining steady here on the Pacific side, until Sunday they say.
Geoffff has gotten great offers but with the custom springs of his Sportsmobile he will just avoid rough roads and head home when he is ready. Geoffff
promises photos for Nomad from the trip in his future report.

This is the best idea and wont trash your strap. Should be easy to get it done down there.
Even plates on top and bottom of break with U-bolts.
Should be able to easily amble down to Gonzaga. Weeks in San Felipe is no fun, although the south campos arent too bad.

The vados just south of San Felipe will test the field repair harder than some of the dirt roads!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Certainly have a clamp to lay the leaf somewhat flat, to get the U-bolts started?
