Yeah, its only for the rear, but it was too cool to pass up. The metal is hella thick, but with a little time you can cut through it. One of my rear shocks is a little quirky, just need to get that straightened out so I can enjoy the thrills of adjusting. haha

I'd imagine that piece costs $200 per side
not something I'd be quick to take a grinder to man... and sure as hell not leave one of the 6 bolts off of. I hope it doesnt cause any negative results for his sake.... suspension isnt something I like tampering with the workings of with a grinder.

Sad thing is. I cannot put a bolt there.
There are nuts welded to the inside as you know. The spot weld on the the nut came loose and it dropped inside. Bummer huh. Ive been running it like that for close to 3 years with no problems. I take some serious turns too, and other 3 seem to hold just fine and never loosten.

There is not a chance in hell that that piece is in Jeopordy of breaking because of that
cut through the middle. 60 % still remains and that **** is like 1/8" thick steel. Now as far as the missing bolt. Got any suggestions of how I can bolt it in without a nut on the other side?

You can't look at it as a matter of "amount of material" cut out... the stresses in that part vary
Seriously, I'd buy a replacement and consider this a lesson. The fact is that the part has been weakened and if it fails the results would be much worse than, say, a shift lever or something.
