Just curious, how did the flange/tube sustain damage? Thanks, bob.

Good question, as you know that set has a split flange, the tube goes around the outside of frame. As I was going through traps pipe comes apart. These were Jet-Hot coated, I feel the process used to prepare to coat weakened the material at pipe to flange weld and broke. Can't really come to any other conclusions. The car had solid engine mounts and rubber trans mount, at first thought was mount broke, that was not the case...…..
