Greetings:

While cleaning the grease & grim off the front clip center cross member, I found this metal plate welded to it:

Not sure what it was put there for - There was no hole or damage to the cross member, when I looked at the inside of the cross member where the plate was welded - It also looked like it had been "more" at one time, as the plate showed signs of something having been "cut off".

Since I have already asked one esoteric question... How about another Very Happy

Any one have any idea why studs/nuts were used on the front motor mount?

Seeing as the stud came out with the nut.... Why not have just used a bolt and washer in the first place?

Thanks for any thoughts you can/care to share,
