I talked to Mark at DSE and he pulled Paul in for the discussion. It appears to Paul that the connectors drew upwards from the heat. It doesn't appear to be a problem in terms of function, however he suggested I weld the underside now to help draw it back.

The problem I see is that the connectors are fully welded on the inside of the car and I would think that I need to cut the welds loose to help relieve it so that it would move in the opposite direction.

Maybe I can use something to put tension on it and pull it as it's being welded?????

Any other thoughts?

I see where I messed up now. It's a stupid mistake on my part. I guess i rushed it and didn't stop to think about it drawing as much as it did while welding. What I should have done was welded the some on the top and some on the bottom to minimize the draw. Oh well, lesson learned.
