In the first picture below, the T-Brace #53010A is bolted in. P/N: 53029CA0209P The passenger (right) headlight surround #53010B is bolted and welded. (2 bolts, 3 plug welds). P/N: 53029CA0709P The driver (left) headlight surround #53010C is also bolted and welded. (2 bolts, 3 plug welds). P/N: 53029CA0809P In the second picture it is possible that the apron reinforcements are also bent. The passenger (right) side #51233H is bolted and welded. (2 bolts, 3 plug welds). P/N: 51639CA0109P The driver (left) side #51233I is also bolted and welded. (2 bolts, 3 plug welds). P/N: 51639CA0209P If you have access to a welder and are somewhat mechanically proficient the repairs are pretty easy, the hardest part in making sure everything is square before welding. The measurements to ensure everything is lined up are found in the Subaru BRZ Body Repair Manual.

The passenger side headlight surround and apron reinforcements are the parts that are bent. I've never done anything with spot welds before... but it looks like they almost play the same role as bolts. Like the parts show up with holes in it where you place the spot weld to seal it up to the car. Am I correct in that? If so, that seems like just a matter of drilling out the old weld and replacing the part. Feels like it might even be fairly straightforward to line it all up correctly as you'd have 2-3 different points (between the bolts and spot welds) to line up before actually welding. Does that sound about right? Totally guessing here... I'm fairly confident in mechanical work but I've never had to replace something of this nature before. |

I posted the 2013-2016 Body Repair Manual here for you. Radiator Support Repair Instructions start on Page 62, Pages 220 & 221 show the measuring points and measurements.

Geez, I haven't driven this car since December 2023....been spending a lot of time in the company MX5 NC's. I sure hope it, and I, do well this weekend at Road Atlanta!

At Road Atlanta near the end of the day the car was pushing quite a bit in T1, T7 and T12. I attributed it to me pushing too hard...went to Sebring on Saturday and the car would not turn, super pushy. It's never really been like that at my home track....think the tires were just done....lol
