Default Radiator Support

My Q is, should I have this welded on or should I just bolt it on. The thing is, the welds that will be holding it together will not be big at all so wouldnt it probally be a stronger hold if I just bolted it on? Also, I would really like to bolt it because my car has no motor or anything so I cant take it somewhere to get welded on and I dont want to go through the hassle of towing it so if bolting it on will be almost as strong thats what Im going to do. Any comments is apprecaited. Thanks guys!

If you did decide to bolt it down, would you use the stock top brackets or that aftermarket plate ?

Are you talking about the cover that covers the top of the radiator? If so I want to get a cover. Does it make a difference?

The only reason why i was asking was because if you look at my radiator hold down bracket, i had to cut into my hood in order to make it work. I was going to respond to your question with a question of is this normal? I hate it! Now i have a fiberglass lift off hoo that i have not put on yet and i am afraid that it wont work.

Wow, that sux. I hope that everything works out with that. I dont think that should be a problem thought because the one that I was looking at is a OEM replacement so I SHOULDNT have problems.... I HOPE

Absolutly, I should be getting this done within after my next paycheck (2 weeks) so I will let you know how everything goes. Or just ask me in 2 weeks because I might forget
