Didn't work but he tried.

I have a good front cover to replace the broken one. The cover needs to come off anyway; the PO used bath tub silicone the last time they were inside it. I'm thinking about a steel angle across the top connected to the two bolts that go into the front cover and then bolted to the frame and maybe an additionally support at the back using the two tapped bolt holes next to the dipstick tube and also bolted to the frame. Probably overkill.
