Brake booster/master cylinder mounting plate

[bigmuddy]

So, my painter removed the plate on the firewall that goes under or between the master cylinder and or brake boost bracket. I had ask him to grind down the edge but he removed it completely.

I have a new one, but after looking at a buddies I don't see how they are originally attached? I don't see any spot welds at all?

Magic, rust or some type of old panel bond type product? I realize they are bolted on as well but even without bolts they seem to be bonded on?

on mine i can see 8 maybe 9 spot welds that hold it on ..

Ok, well that explains it. They must not be visible on all of them but surely are welded.

I think I will just use panel bond if anything at all.

Yeah, that plate is supposed to be permanently affixed. Definitely welded. Mine stayed on through sandblating and everything.
