thicker than the material welded. The weld puddle will not bond to the
copper on the back side of the weld. Clean the pieces before welding so

Yeah reinforce it or you will be welding it again soon. It is easy to blast
through that thin metal. Add a short section of radiator hose between the
valve cover and the air cleaner housing to keep vibration from destroying
the mounts and bracket again.

I have welded them before. They are galvanized so
do it outside with the air moving away from you. I
would also add an extra piece of metal across the
break for a couple of inches as they tend to
rebreak at the same point.

I found a broken bracket in my piles of treasures and since my new welder
arrived Friday and I have nascent skills it got me thinking…
I’m wondering if it is galvanized or something as there is no rust on it, or if
it’s some metal that is not stick or mig weldable. Anyone know?
