G'day all
I have a boomer bull bar mounted on my d40. The brackets for the bar that boomer supply are 10mm steel and quite heavy (as is the bar even though it is alloy). The brackets on the chassis as part of the car appear to be only 2 or 3mm steel. Anyway doing some 4wding the other week the bull bar hit the ground and the top pulled forward bending the top part of the chassis mounts forward. My question is, if I knock them back to the position they are supposed to be, would it be ok to weld a right angled triangle section of steel in each corner of the brackets to the chassis for strengthening purposes? If not what would be a better suggestion to remedy this?
Cheers
