Repaired Side Vent bracket, Tom Doucet plastic mounts for PSI's

This afternoon I got a little bit of work done on R2.

I broke one of the L brackets that was JB Welded to the frame on the drive back from New Hampshire. The L bracket has a large, ceramic magnet on it which in turn holds the side vent into place.
