[QUOTE="69ST, post: 184427, member: 5"] There are so many possible methods that we could make this a very long thread, just discussing them. There's not much real estate to work with in this area of the frame. Welding hex nuts isn't a lot of fun, the zinc plating must be removed, to get a clean weld, and un-plated M6 hex nuts aren't very common. My preferred method is to fab a plate, from a scrap of 0.250" steel. That's thick enough to drill & tap. Then it's largely just a matter of locating the frame holes, using this as your template. If you can't access it from inside the frame, using a MIG, it can be plug-welded from the outside of the frame. [/QUOTE]
