Looks like a lot of work to weld it back in. I can not believe that this one loose nut on the bumper mount has caused me months of frustration through its persistent chatter, perhaps with the rear engine sitting next to it?

We ended up at Delicate Nobby, just south of Crescent Head on the Mid North Coast of NSW, highly recommended for surfing, fishing and loosing track of time! Went exploring down to Point Plomer, man that is the bumpiest most pot holled filled track I have ever encounted.
