M Haibeck states he often drills a small hole next to where the bolt is at on that frame to spray rust buster prior to removing upper mounting bolt to prevent what happened to me. Apparently he has a way to weld a nut in that space but it is a prolonged time consuming event as he related to me.

Good news. Thanks for sharing. I thought the welded nut was done. What a relief for you. I can imagine how difficult it would be to get a nut welded in there. Good job on this.
