Gerst front end B body repair.





Anyone have any experience with cracking at the shock towers on a gerst tubular front end? I had installed one on my 69 gtx in 2019 and noticed the welds at the shock towers cracking. Anyone have this issue and repair it? Could use a little help. Thanks

Not sure what caused that? My guess would be the shock bottomed out one to many times???? Looks like an easy enough fix....
Get all the powder coating removed, straighten the bracket and reweld the cracks and install and weld a 1/8-1/4" flat strap in place the full lenth of the bracket.... Paint it... Should be good as new...

Those wheelies can be hard on parts.
