Message: <blockquote data-quote="maintenanceguy" data-source="post: 463709" data-attributes="member: 24227">I could have fabricated a new knee brace but didn't want to mess with floor since that part stays underwater.  I would have had to weld, rivet, or bolt through the floor.  It doesn't leak now and I'm not sure I can guarantee it would stay that way if I started messing with it.I also don't really like that a single knee brace is pulling up on only 6 rivets in a concentrated area of the floor.  The original brace cracked. I don't want to duplicate what didn't work.   I'm sure that reinforcing the brace would have been adequate.  In fact, it seems to have worked for years the way it is.  But if you're going to fix it, go big or go home!</blockquote>
