Here's a dumb one:
Would JBWeld work long (well) enough to secure the cage until the bolt draws the nut up snug against the firewall... I'm wondering if one of the primary purposes of the cages is to hold the nut in place just long enough to get the bolt started, so as the bolt draws the nut up against the sheet metal marginally less force comes to be placed against the cage?
(Guess I'm basically asking how much shear strength a JBWeld joint would actually provide? Got to be easy enough to find out -- I could just try and see if it fails -- but what's the consensus, would it?)
Thanks,
JB
