kinstall.jpg After rough-bending some scrap metal into shape, test-fit it & adjust it a few times.  Then scuff all the surfaces for the adhesive, and lay it on.  Don't be shy - the excess will squirt out, but voids will cause future problems.  I'm using JB-Kwik because it's cheaper & probably stronger than normal panel adhesive, and doesn't require an expensive applicator gun & tips.  I'm mixing it with old popsicle sticks in the bottom of a Sprite can. But it doesn't allow much working time (only mix for ONE reinforcement at a time), so standard JBWeld or panel adhesive is probably better.
