I need to replace the right side Bracket for Hinge Pillar (914 501 030 10)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544055999.1.jpg) It would be much easier if I could remove the right side Lateral Grill (914 504 012 10) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1544056000.2.jpg) How is it fastened in? Thanks! |

FWIW, I usually add welds to the back side on the nut insert. I've gotten a spinner on that before.

Haven't done that yet, but what are your thoughts of also putting a few welds on the outside of the insert? BTW that RD piece is made of pretty thin stuff.. IMHO |

the factory originally welded the two together and that is how we make them, no reason to go through a double welding process

IMHO It doesn't take much time or effort to add some welds to the back, versus grinding that bracket off because the spot welds didn't hold. Your car do as you like. I've even reinforced those with some 16 gauge, as well as doing a grease mod to the shoulder bolt. |
