Near the front shock towers inside the wheel wells are brackets that secure the large air hoses that supply fresh air to the passenger compartment. The remnant of the bracket was still on the car when the last piece broke off from being bent one time too many.

I fabricated brackets to replace the old ones by copying what was left of the old one, and welded the nuts to the bracket like the original one.

After cutting off the old bracket, I cleaned the area up and welded on the new brackets. I painted the area with paint and added some rubberized undercoating to match the original factory finish in the same sloppy manner in which it was originally applied!
