John,
I hope the answer is that it doesnt really matter and you dont need to
do anything special in replacing the piece since my car came with out
the lower cruciform so I bought a replacement piece and had a friend
weld it in. Mine was welded from below with no welds above. As far as I
can tell, it hasnt gone anywhere.

Subject: Lower T-shirt section
I was replacing steel brake lines on the TR6 today and noticed a rust
bubble on the lower t-shirt metal. I picked it open with a screwdriver
and theres no corrosion on the frame rail and the rest looks good top
and bottom. The upper also seems fine as best I can tell with the body
on.(Engine and Tranny out) Is the T-shirt able to be removed and a new
panel welded on without jigs or a frame machine? Are there weld above
or just the welds I see from below. Seems like you knock off one
project and another one's staring you in the face:( John Mitchell 76
