welding up the the gearbox forks( almost finished)

when I removed the orignal torsion tube and pivot points the inside spot welds on the forks sprung open .this was from old age and flexing over the years ,so if your changing the gearbox mounts or doing a power upgrade check the spot welds .

there will be a box section welded in the middle for the shift rod coupling.
