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) |

If you tig or mig welded right through the center of each screw hole you could essentially spot weld each hole and seal the firewall. This could potentially be a clean fix for this. Alternatively you could force JB-Weld through the screw holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) to bond the part and seal the holes, however, epoxy used in that applications has low shear strength.
