Is this really a weld-on? All the others I've seen have been bolt-on.

Per the manufacturer, http://mbrpautomotive.com/?page=products&part=S6200PLM, this looks to be bolt-on. It's always best to research your parts with the manufacturer before purchasing. We have emailed Amazon to update this ad. Thank you and hope this helps!

Unless you can weld, this is not a DIY job. I recommend you take it to a muffler shop and have it installed. I payed 35 to have it done.

No not welded. A plastic cap on the crossbar is wound over the plastic screw on the support legs. This is not a heavy duty item, though still holding up to a family of five.

That is why I hired my mechanic to install it. There were extra pieces that I did not know what to do with and ...my mechanic said he needed a special tool to install it. My guy charged me $85 - which I thought was a good dealespecially after I had wasted 40 minutes trying to do it myself and almost stripping one of the bolts.

The design was to use the brackets and they are a permanent (integral) part of the rack. There is a bolt but it is permanently welded onto the rack.

So Far, not at all. I would check the bolts now and then to make sure they are tight, though. Always a good idea.

no, and you need to take a serious look at the way it stabilizes to the tank. I wound up welding some nuts on the bracket and using wing nutted bolts to stabilize it.

I have one of these. It attaches with 2 bolts that slide right into place and is held in place by 2 nuts that you screw in tightly by hand . It stays in place very well and looks great. I think this is what you mean by "screw in bolt." I am pleased with mine. Good luck!

Not per se. They do usually come with the nut and bolt. I believe it is zinc plated but not sure.

no bolts !!! Be very careful about starting bolts; one of mine had been damaged by previous work.

Mine was reverse-threaded. I removed a standard 1/4-20 screw from a flash bracket and I was able to screw it in from the top. I thought about trying to find a reverse-threaded bolt to use on a quick plate but it's too much work for a $48 part. I'm dealing with Photodiox now to obtain a replacement since I was past the normal Amazon return period when I first tried using it.

No these do not bolt on. They are covers that pop on and they look awesome. You won't be disappointed.

No it's not welded. It's threaded on both sides and held in with nuts. I have had no leak issues.

James,I would give it one winter before the welds would give. As I didn't keep this item, I am speculating. Save yourself the aggravation and money and buy an alternative.

No It doesn't. I actually welded some to the front rail. It works awesome now..

It is bolted on but you don't have to have it on. It just doesn't snap on or off. It is not necessary to have on for it to run.
