|
|
At some point my jeep was wrecked or something and the mirror mount smashed in. I am trying to find a patch panel for the area but don't know what to even search for. Anyone have any ideas or a donor tub I can buy a patch off of? |

Not sure how to post pics, but it's a volley ball size dent. If it weren't for the raised mount I would roll the steel and patch. But that would leave my mirror mount flat on the cowl. |

That certainly makes a difference. You should go to your profile and enter in your signature block your model jeep. Then it will always show at the bottom of all your posts and we will all be on the same page.
There is no easy way to repair or reproduce this.
As I have already said your best bet is to find a donor tub and cut what you need from it and insert it in your cowl. Grind the welds smooth and press on. _________________ Wes K
