    Finished the repair to my broken hood mount on my '07, 780.
    Wasn't to hard. Thank I might had created a new Gold Standard for this repair.
    Wasn't much of any info for this repair that I could find on line.
    Just a group of photos.
    I welded a piece of metal to the top of the bracket as was shown in that group.What I did different was weld a piece of flat bar that run all the way up to the shock. Shock area was also in need of repair. I drilled and tap the flat bar (2"x3/16") all the down it's length and added 1/4 inch bolts. I believe that will add extra strength. Should not break out again.
    I had wanted to include pictures. If that can be done, I don't know how.
