Good day all,
i have the famous crack problem on my steering box mount on the unibody. I already fixed it by welding, but the problem suddenly occurs again. So now i plan to reinforce it with a piece of metal plate. Does anybody have a technical drawing of the proper reinforcement plate? I have no metal working tools and i life in Indonesia. So i have to order that piece in a steel workshop. Have a great day and keep jeepin folks.

 

This is a plate I made out of some metal I had laying around. The strip I had wasn't tall enough so I cut it into strips an welded it together to give me the size I needed. I wasn't going for anything other than functionality, and it did its job as you can see I was chasing cracks for a while before the plate in the second picture. My plate held up nice and strong through plenty of hard wheeling and even rolling my jeep.

I can't remember if I needed longer bolts because of the plate, but I would take that into consideration.

 

Thank you so much for the pictures. Apparently my dad already put a metal plate on it. But the weldings weren't done strong enough. So i have to weld it again. have a great day.
