I recently damaged a scissor stabilizer jack / mounting bracket on my TT. The welds holding the 1/8" metal mounting bracket to the frame are still sound BUT part of the bracket is bent and needs to be straightened. Impossible to do without cutting welds. I can get the bracket to be straight if I clamp and force the bent portion back up to the frame and secure it with a 1/4" bolt and nut or self tapping screw. Does either the nut/bolt or self tapping screw method impact the strength of the I beam frame more than the other? Which is the preferred method? Hopefully the picture shows the bent gap I need to snug up to the frame..
