Here's close-up of the cracked area as seen from the bottom of the frame. Follow the orange arrow. |

This shows the epoxy having been poured into place. Note the craft stick dam at one end. |

One last picture, the finished machine. Hoover Windtunnel 2, Model U8311-900. It still has the original temporary decal affixed to the dust compartment cover attesting to its virtues. |

I should clarify those pictures. #2 is a view taken from above the frame (or the "top"), not the bottom. #3 and #4 show the well or cavity directly below the area shown in #2, and these are taken from the bottom. |
