Is welding the hinge the only method of securing it?
Does anybody know how to secure it without welding? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Attached image(s) |

QUOTE Ok, So this photo is actually from my car. This was done by the PO. I have always meant to fix this properly and now that the engine is out and I am doing some hell hole and firewall repair, I'll finally weld this and repair it properly. Now anybody that thinks this won't last, I bought this car in 1983. Yep, those screws have held that hinge bracket in place for more than 25 years. The PO did this to my old teener and the screws allowed water to rust the fire wall!! Watch out and repair it properly! |
