Side Panel mount wrong?
Maybe I'm dumb but it seems my side panel mount is welded in the wrong spot or I'm missing a part?

I had to rebend my bracket to make it line up.

I bent it a little and it's still about an inch off! If you look at the picture you can the mounting bracket on the left and how far it's off. If possible can you take a picture of yours?

looks like you had to bend and straighten yours quite a bit yes?

I've had tabs like that which have been ridiculously far off. A MIG welder is your friend.

I ended up bending the crap out of the mounts and got the panel to mount. I just wonder if they are all like that or they just welded mine in the wrong spot

I would suggest, if, if, if, it is indeed incorrectly placed it will show up again.
Never mistakes on these fine steeds
