here's a pic of the finished repair. Sorry it's a little blurry. I'll try to take a better pic of it tonight.

-The hole between the pillar and magwell is where he drilled it and filled the hole with thinned epoxy till it started seeping out of the split at the magwell, ensuring the epoxy filled in the entire split.

-The main repair is cut at a depth almost to the bottom of the pillar, the T-bolt placed in, and epoxied in place.

-The pillar was also removed during the process, turned down a couple thou and grooves cut into it, and bedded back in place.

It really looks like a solid repair and he guarantees it will hold. Almost makes me wanna take my bvss stock to him and just let him do it before it splits too ::).
