Hey guys. I keep breaking the welds on my heatshield brackets too. I just have my local garage keep welding them back in place. I think the final fix is going to be providing him with some stainless welding rod which is very cheap and can be had at any local welding supply shop. I'm also having problems with the cross brackets on the ridiculous set up we have for the catalytic converters. Everytime I hit a dip in the road at speeds over about 110 mph the car bottoms out and I break one of the welds on those brackets. I finally just took them off and there doesn't seem to be any real need for them. Everything still seems well supported and I think I actually eliminated some squeaks. Also where the welds broke, a couple of holes in the pipes were left behind and the car is starting to sound more like a real Cobra.
