Anyone had a diesel up to 200km/h?
Besides down a mine shaft?
Not too many drag cars using chain as tailshaft loops any more, the universal steel hoops are too easy to install.

Components that a subject to constant load bearing applications, I doubt the any form of Stress relieving would take place either, by welding you introducing high levels of heat , alloying agents impurities and contaminants into a localized area and as such begin to change the grain structure of the parent materials aswell metallurgical properties.
I would be asking for a brand new item,
I wouldnt Want to be crossing the Simpson if it re cracked and failed
Just a thought....
