It is odd that Brad would mention using JB Weld. I would not using anything less than welding.

JB is probably just to get the inside brackets to stay in place. The bolts will hold everything together once torqued down.

Brad is suggesting to jb weld the reinforcement plate. I've never done it but Brad has worked on 100x more 914's than me. Just ask him when you buy the bar.

The seller has been around here and 914s for a long time. While I've never seen anyone do it that way I suppose you could use jbweld... i bet it would be stronger than a lot of the weld jobs I see pictured on here (mine included)...
Also check with member Bruce Stone, IIRC he sells these refurbished (powder coated and freshly plated) for the same price... |

You are in "God's Hands" when dealing with Brad Mayuer or Bruce Stone. Both are great of knowledge and quality parts. You cannot be in any better hands when dealing with these two. Ask and they will explain; nothing but exceptional service from both of them.
