Elvira and the Party Monsters
Bally, 1989I noticed last night that the metal mounting bracket for the Boogie Men assembly in my Elvira is fatiguing and breaking in two. It looks like it's an unobtanium part, and I don't find any threads talking about repairing metal brackets, so I'm thinking there's no easy solution, I probably have to find someone who does welding. But thought I'd check here in case anyone has a miracle fix for this sort of thing.
Video demonstrating what I mean:
Thanks!
I can't see the back side of your bracket so I am assuming that it is bent at a 90 degree angle. If that is correct, go get some angle bracket at the hardware store.

Bond the angle bracket to your broken bracket.
YOu can use JB Weld. I like PC-11.

Yes, 90 degrees. Sweet, that's all it takes? Thanks!
