Dear Abby,

I realized that this thing may be a mild pain in the pooper to replicate, due to the varying geometry all around.

I need to move the hole about 1.25" further towards the rear of the car. So rather than cutting and welding an extension on, should I just bend the lip straight? I believe that if I can bend the area between the blue Painter's Tape out 90*, I can just drill a new hole and be done. Would I be jeopardizing the integrity and strength of the crossmember by doing this though?

Cut 2 slits, bend out, have someone weld a flare on each end of the bend to reconnect everything?

Also, to answer a previous question: The part number stamped on this is 10198323 10198347-C LT1- MD8/M30 . So it is the LT1 xmember off of LTb1ow's car.
