I need help. Will someone out there post a photo of what this area should look like. The downtube is loose in the casting. I'm thinking of welding the pieces together. Is a steel sleeve involved? And, what is the hole in the side for? I've drilled out the post and would like to head in the right direction. Thanks.

I heard from someone in my thread on my round-tube '36 SK that a cotter-pin type item goes in that hole. It was originally steel...which seems to always be the problem with the SKs when a dash of time is added.
Also, here's another article with a fairly detailed repair involving drilling that cotter pin.
