For those of you who can't relate to the photo of the crank boom when it has been removed from the Quest, here is a photo of it after it was re-installed. You can see the new weld to the left of the crank and motor assembly. This photo was taken on October 26.Sunday, November 03, 2013

Is that a "Synergy Drive" in there?[Toyota's copyrighted name for the hybrid transmission]
I know it isn't, but I would be surprised if doesn't use the same principal of gearing.
It appears to me that the next fatigue problem will be those flanges on either side of the forward Crank Boom attachment where the "previous owner" cut away some material to accommodate his oversize feet and long legs. A piece of oak wrapped and bonded in place on the underside of these flanges might do the trick of stiffening and strengthening the structure in this area.
By "wrapped and bonded", I meant "with fiberglass cloth".
