I stitch welded some like this on the inside. They were weltmeister brand if I recall correctly. Using stock sway bar.
Ah, now I have some of those they came with the Weltmeister. Never said anything about welding them in though. That's it then, I'll weld them in. Job done. Thanks.
I also used the nut plate and welded it in. So when you posted a re-enforcement plate and the next poster posted a picture a plate through the whole fender well...I thought you meant that!
Definitely you need the "nut plate" on the inside of the fender well to be welded in. There is also a classic thread on this I believe. Unless you drill the mounting holes in true position - ( almost impossible) for this installation....the holes in the fender well need to be slightly oversize to bolt both plate together to compress the bushings. If those holes are oversize the backing plate....or reinforcing plate...could loosen over time due to the torsion of the bar and rip the fender well sheet metal due to it spinning or moving.
Am I right Eric and Chris? Wrote a thread on this I believe a while back and I'm getting old....er older.
