it works
ive done it before on several lawn mowers and a few small plastic trim panel clips on my old truck that striped out.
that stuff drys SUPER HARD!!!!! and as long as you smooth it out before it dries its easy to paint right over and youll never know it was ever damaged...

to fix that hole drill it out nice and round and the put something on the edges so it will not rust, then find one of those hole plugs, just like the one next to it, and it will look stock again.

Here is what I would do.
1. see if you can get access from the other side.
ie. removesplash shield, or any other plastic.
2. try to return the metal to it's original contour.
if you can get to the back, this will be easier.
try to get the edges at least not sticking up.
3. cut a smallpatch out of the same thickness metal.
Give yourself enough overlap that you can get a good
weld. Then weld all around the edges of the patch.
4.Put theintake in place and mark the center of the
mounting hole, Drill a hole slightly larger than the bolt,
through the new metal plate. Then center and weld into
place a nut, over the hole.
I don't weld, so I can only do the first two steps.
my local welder would charge for an hour of labor.
and I would have a repair that is good as new.
Dave, I think I have a stuck " " key, disregard "s

I made a raly nice brace. i put the brace on the side of the shock tower on the harness bolt. i bent the brace under the intake pipe, and used a clamp that went under the brace and wraps around the intake pipe. i used 5 clamps, 1 filter, 1 for brace, 3 to keep the intake on the throttle body/ rubber thingy.
how hot does the intake pipe get? i need to make that senser for the intake a biger . im thinking of wraping it with somthing and sticking it in?
