Hi the alternator mount on my 1991 GMC Jimmy S15 4.3 liter V6 has broken clean just below the bolt the olds it to the mount.

Someone told me there is a "Metal epoxy" that will fix this but is unsure of the name of the product.

Doesn't sound right to me but any ideas.



Thanks mate...

What I know; With any bonding agent surface preparation is critical... I wouldn't recommend it for this application. Perhaps the broken part may be used as a pattern to cut a replacement from suitable plate steel. Be sure to use files or a grinder to "break" the sharp edges left from the torch... Good luck...
