Opinions on this boot floor/ diff strengthening fix??

[Smudgemanuk]

This was taken from a roadster.net post from 2021

""But after a discussion with an experienced BMW repair technicians, I change the partly cracked spot weldings for M8 bolts, good quality and used also washers. Has been working now for 8 years. The technician said that M8 bolts repair is better than any attempt to re-weld. It's stronger.""

None of my spot welds have separated yet but I am sure it will happen in future and I don't want to worry when launching it!

So my question is what do others think of this unorthodox method?

Thanks
Chris

My car had a few popped welds so I drilled and bolted it as an easy short term solution. Ran it for two years without any further faults.

I have now reinforced everything and fitted a twin eared cover to remove any further worry.
