I spent most of today drilling out the spot welds on the k11's badly rusted crossmember. I have bolted the new one on and I am wondering if it is necessary for MOT purposes to put plug welds approximately where the original spot welds were?
update: Never mind, welded it this morning (welds shown in red circles) and I had to drill the holes for welding myself (before fitting) as the new crossmember comes without welding holes. The old crossmember was so rotten, I could easily fold it up and put it into my wheelie bin. Imagine jacking the car up under the crossmember when it's that rotten (goodbye radiator).
