Given the current paradigm for automotive transportation
and its complete dependence on fossil fuels, I'm gonna
hazard a guess that you don't really believe in global warming
either?

At any rate, it would appear any further discussion here in
the mech's forum on what started out as a perfectly reasonable
"can i fix this or will it eventually hurt me" thread is a major
hijack that heads nowhere but P+R, so I'm out.

For the record, in case it's not clear enough, unless you
can sleeve the area with either some kind of mechanical clamp
or cold process epoxied sleeve reinforcement ( and you might
still want to mechanically clamp that one, until you are
certain it is truly bonded)......it might be time to recycle
the Klein.
