    Default Crack in engine mount gusset

    Hi all,

    while doing my annual I found a 5/8" crack in a gusset on the engine mount of my model 5 outback.

    I believe this mount is made of 4130 chrome moly, can anyone confirm this.

    I think this should be weldable with out removing the mount.

    Any thoughts, tips appreciated. 20170914_211839.jpg
