I have a dilemma, and an idea. I want to put a 4-bar suspension in the back
of my 77B using the front leaf-spring and anti-roll bar mounting points to
attach the trailing arms. I suspect that I should put in one of those
reinforcements (sometimes called "top-hats") onto the front leaf-spring
mount, and run it forward to the crossmember. Here is my dilemma: Since I
already have the interior restored, I don't want to spotweld to the
underside of the floorpan because of the asphalt soundproofing on the inside
plus the carpet and seats that I just don't want to remove unless
absolutely necessary. So I was thinking: If I weld the tophat at it's ends
to the x-member and the leaf-spring mounting point could I use epoxy to
bond the flanges to the floorpan for the middle 80% of the reinforcement? A
hybrid bond? What do people think?

p.s. Where can I buy this 2-part Fusor that some folks have mentioned? The
Eastwood stuff is one-part.
