I can think of a couple ways to fix this. Can i hear more ideas?
You can see that there are 4 weld impressions. 3 have pulled a hole in the firewall. |

Hey, I had the same problem with my hinge cracked across the middle which prevented the deck lid from opening smoothly, so I used a little back yard ingenuity. What is did was go to Homer Depot, and found an L-bracket, that would fit over the nut head in the middle, cut it to length, and welded it in, would have included a photo, but my welding skills, are not the best, then painted it. Looks as though it will hold, there is no longer any sag in it, and it seems to be fairly sturdy. I will know when I get it all back to together. As, I am working on my megasquirt setup. Just my 2cents |
