Default Kind of proud of my work

SO
I picked up a pair of 32 spark plug conduit's and on one side, one of the mounting hole feet was broken off. It was wired to the tube but broken off. Looking at the other foot and seeing it had been repair previously, I thought, "NO problem, I'll just take it by one of my welding shop customers that is 1/2 a block from my office and get him to TIG weld it back on for me and save me time and effort. SO did just that.....BUT the noodnick welded the foot onto the bracket "straight" NOT at a 90 degree angle (MORE THAN SHAKING MY HEAD, not like he had an example to follow, and sorry but already deleted those photos as proof) SO now I cannot bend it as his weld is strong and thick, its not bending (or at least not where it NEEDS to bend). SO,, I made a new bracket and bent and drilled the proper sized whole, then cut the original bracket along with my new bracket so the angles matched perfectly and welded my newly made foot onto the bracket. I am so pleased with the end result, it almost looks professional!!!
