So as the title states the L bracket on the drivers side broke off. It looks as if a PO had this happen at some point and welded just the sides and tried to weld the top from the engine side of the fire wall. I have been talking to a friend and he suggested grinding the paint down and find the spot welds and then put 4 or 5 rivets in the existing holes and where the spot welds were with some auto body sealant between the mating surfaces.

Another option we considered was getting good firewall piece and riveting it on their until I can weld that piece on properly. I really don't want to have to put her up and do any welding right now since I just got her back on the road after sitting for 3+ years.

Anyone have any other ideas or fixes they have done for this?
