Thanks Kai, there were two of us. The picture doesn't show clearly but it had been welded before. It was rusted under the welds and I think the rust made it weak.Bwk2000 wrote: Tue Oct 11, 2022 3:46 pm Simply spot weld it back in place. If you can ‘phone a friend’ to help you install the hood afterwards, it will be less likely to break again (often too much stress is placed on the bracket by the loose bolts with just one person trying to attach the hood).
Got it. Even when you do it right, rust always finds a way to #@&$% you over. As long as the nuts aren't stripped, you should be ok to clean up the mounting surfaces and just re-weld it.mwegener111 wrote: Tue Oct 11, 2022 4:09 pm Thanks Kai, there were two of us.
