     Guys,
     I have a rear upright that is cracked about halfway through. Itas
     well on its way to failing which would be catastrophic. If you look
     at the pic below, notice the chipped paint on the near side edge.
     The crack is just to the left of the chip, running perpendicular to
     it, clear to the hole in the center of the casting:
     It would be absolutely lethal to ever put this back on a car. Itas
     cast iron so canat be welded meaning it canat be repaired.
     I am loathe to throw any Pantera part into the trash but I am
     struggling to come up with any possible use for this?
     I welcome your ideas!
     Mike
