Garage
Cursed '65 Mustang - loose pressed in nut

I acquired a '67 Caddy from a widow, and that thing fought me ever step of the way.
Kinda like the previous owner is having fun at my expense.
Apparently the spirit likes hanging out in the garage and has a taste for the early Mustang as well.
I never had any issues with that car until I pulled the Caddy next to it.
But anyway...
The latest is a loose nut.
Not sure what you call it, but it is pressed into the frame.
Trying to remove a bracket for the power steering slave cylinder so I can install an aftermarket one to provide clearance for headers.
One bolt just kept spinning.
I was finally able to remove it by prying on the bracket and spinning the bolt.
Here is what I am left with; one nut is loose and needs to be tight in the frame:



I was thinking maybe welding a few tacks around it?
May as well do both just in case?
