Looking for someone here that can perform this job or give a recommendation of someone qualified. My driver side engine lid bracket is loose and it is causing my engine lid to swing open when driving. Strange thing is that it not that loose, but perhaps it doesn’t take much movement to cause the rear lid latch to release the lid. I have attempted to adjust the latch, but that has not worked out. I purchased two new brackets, but need someone to take a look at it first to determine whether it would be best to reweld the original bracket, or install a new patch panel, or to install a new bracket(or perhaps do both sides), or any combination of these.
I have researched previous threads on this topic that have provided good insight on this issue, but since I am not a welder I prefer to have someone with experience evaluate and perform the work. I am in the San Francisco Bay Area. Thanks, James. |

Update: the welded nut on my engine lid bracket is stripped. I was able to get a nut in there but I don’t trust it and at this point would like to have a new bracket welded in. If anyone is able and willing to help(for $) or can recommend a shop in the SF Bay Area, it would be appreciated. Trying to get the car ready for the WCR and it would be nice to check this off my list.
Thanks. |
