Default Re: AU Boot strut mount broken. how to fix?

You will probably looking at a clean up of parent metal in the area, anyway, so perhaps a side cutter after you have shielded areas around the area.

Then clean up, weld new ball mount into position and repaint.

Alternatively, and depending on whether any spare length in your strut, abandon the first hole and start afresh in an adjacent spot.
