[quote=Hobie]Good news flu. This is an easy job with tig. Yep, you get to buy a new tool! 🙂
Weld a much larger bolt to that stud and after letting some penetrating oil soak you should be able to put a wrench/impact on you new welded bolt and walk it out.
Looks like a trunk lid or a hood. Either way, you have to be very careful about applying high heat as you will warp the sheet metal.[/quote]
it’s not a trunk lid, but it’s a bolt that a hardtop and rollbar can attach to.Andnhigh heat will destroy new paint.
I was thinking welder too. Do you have a TIG welder to recommend that won’t break the bank? Would a harbor freight flux or arc welder work too? Those are pretty cheap .
I know nothing about welding.
