Upper gearbox mount bolt size

[jamie_trials]

Hey guys, I've developed a knocking noise in the 182 and decided I needed to have a look at it. Turns out that the exhaust manifold has been knocking on the heatshield because my upper gearbox bracket has given in. Hopefully it will be able to be welded as it seems that its not cracked, its just snapped?

After inspection I also found that it hasn't been held on by three bolts but only 2 as one has been welded up and forgotten about. If anyone knows the bolt size or code needed it would be much appreciated and hopefully I'll be able to get it welded back up because other than this the gearbox is perfect.

Cheers!

Getting that welded up & then faced, drilled, tapped in situ?
I can`t believe someone bodged that like that.

The bolt 7703101505 is 10x 150 probably 1.5 pitch.

That's the plan yeah, haven't welded myself before so going to take it somewhere local and see if they're willing to give it a go. I couldn't believe it myself either. It's the first major bodge since buying it about 2 months ago. Hope I don't find anymore 😧 proper gutted after just throwing money at it making it tidy.
