UFO & G60

[Sean]

I have UFOs.  Stress fracture is about 1/4 inch past the hole.
I'll be posting pics soon, along with a question:  Which method should I try first in an effort to stop the fracture from growing longer-
1.  Weld it
2.  Install a Bernie Brace
3.  Weld with simultaneous installation of Bernie Brace.
I'm partial to trying eith 1 or 2 first.  If 3 were tried, and the fracture ceased growing, one would not be sure whether the weld or the brace was the responsible factor.
A potential problem with the Bernie Brace is the engineering involved and availability of necessary parts.  Anyone got an extra?

PS- After inspecting the front suspension geometry and data regarding my avant, I, too, am beginning to think there may be some validity to the hypothesis linking the fracture to potholes.
