I just bought a new buggy and it had a bus torsion in it. It had disc brakes on it but they were junked. so i bought some new ones to put on it the problem is the brackets have to be welded on to the hub part of the torsion and it is cast and i cant seem to get my welds to hold. have any of you ever had this problem and do any of you all know a way maybe i could just bolt them on thanks .

A) If they are cast Iron you need to use rod designed forit and B) you need to pre heat the castings
