Thanks to Joe Lucia on this heater box.

Thanks to all for your advice on how to fix my broken heater box. I used Joe's method of JB weld here is the result.

Now just make sure that you don't overtorque the nuts when you re-install the box. If you do, you could break it off again (or, break off one of the other ones). The correct torque is 35-50 pound-INCHES. That won't feel like it's "enough". But, it's enough.

Looks pretty good. Can you post the method that was used. I have a similar situation I will have to work on this spring.

Thanks

I used the JB weld method. After it dried, i used my die grinder with a small wire brush to dull the finish of the JB weld.
