front brace on tilton starter
 

hi all..ive got a problem with my starter pad bolt hole..there a 2 small cracks..i can still torque down the bolt and it works fine..i think tho its only a matter of time before a piece breaks off...what i was planning on doing is making front brace for mini starter to give it more holding power..do you think this will work or should i pull engine and get it welded...thanks
