That looks like factory welding to me, lol.

I looked at my 65 and 71 FSM's, doesn't show the relevant specifications to check that. So I suspect you need to measure the other side and mirror image the repair, or find a good vehicle to compare against, or both.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
