Steve, from what I saw, the weld will not allow the stud to work it's way loose. Wish I had the camera with me when I was shown the AU3 on the hoist, would be much easier to explain.

Anyone with a late AUII or AUIII, or better yet, someone who's had the weld done, could you please post a pic of it please? *looks at JC* LOL..
