Dean,
I had similar trouble with my 67.5.
I bought a NOS one from Rallye, bought a spot
weld drill bit/cutter and drilled out the spot welds.
Then you grind down the piece of spot weld left on
the body and re-weld the new piece back on. I am
a Chiropractor, and do body work on people, :-)
so that means I am not an auto body professional,.
and I really haven't welded before. I used a 110
mig welder with gas and it turned out ok. It would
be hard for you to tell it wasn't a factory installation.
I was a little worried about it at first but it went smoothly.
It looks like everything lines up ok.
