[QUOTE="great white, post: 308511, member: 6238"] Yup, thats an oem piece. Not a patch. Fabricating it is do-able, but not easy if you're not experienced at it. There is multiple planes in the piece and it will be very difficult to get it right. If it were me, i would hammer and dolly the "f-d" up part as close to oem as possible, then TIG, then rebuck, then attempt a sealer if it all doesn't work. The key to the seam leak is getting the pieces back into very close contact with each other. Then rebucking rivets pulls it all together. Finally sealer if it still doesnt close up. The cracks are just a simple matter or rewelding... [/QUOTE]
