anyone have any luck welding on bar pin eliminators to the upper rears. I broke the bolts on all the bar pins trying to take them out and now i'm in this jam. I was thinking about just leaving the broke off bolts in there and welding on bpe's. I know that sheet metal is pretty thin though.

 

Get a punch or a drill out the broken bolts. Then fish new bolts through the little access hole to the side and be done with it. There are write ups on here.
