Well now, if that's what the axle looked like before the repair then a red flag should have popped up in someones face during the safety. You're right, eyes should have been checked. Maybe they were colourblind? Ha. Being resourceful to get a job done alright but you'd think safety would take priority let alone pride in ones quality of work. Wonder if the place that u had the safety done is still around? The ministry would have had a heyday with this place. Wish I had taken pics of all the weird shiot like this I've seen come through.
