Dean, I have had issues posting pics to CC. The third member is held in place by a rear bracket and a right and left bracket that secures the member to the frame. The brackets on my car had no gussets and were made from very thin steel. With the amount of twisting force that the third member takes under full throttle it was way under built. The simple fix is to pull the driveline and the side and rear mounts hardware. This allows the third member to drop down enough to weld in gussets (2 per side) and reassemble. There is no need to pull the entire third member out or remove the axles. It sounds like they fixed the problem in your case. As for SCOF, I could not keep up with the amount of e-mails and never got into that scene. Another friend with a SPF said that he has read on SCOF that others have had this problem in the past.
