This is the center tunnel from the donor car, turned upside down.

The engine end of our tube was bent and out of round. Mike pounded a spike into it to fix these problems, but the force ended up breaking the middle weld where the bracket attached to the tube and the front weld where the bracket attached to the wall. The pre-existing brazing on the front seemed to be the problem.
The middle was just rewelded. The front was fixed using a trick that Brad Roberts posted. Mike drilled holes through the wall and the bracket, then welded through the holes. This worked quite well. For those who only have a broken front bracket, this might be the only thing you need to do instead of cutting the flaps for access to the inside of the tunnel.
