I've read where people have referenced using large washers to help fix a rusted out leg socket. Can somebody please tell me what that involves? I have a rusted out socket on my faded black. Thanks!

I don't think it will work with my situation though. I have a rusted out area. The one I'm thinking of had a large washer that fit over the leg, up against the bowl I think. But after that I don't remember what was done. Maybe @Troy will cover it in his video. Thanks.
My bowl has big rust holes. I'll be using big fender washers.Essentially it's just 3 stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers. Drill holes in the leg socket tabs to accommodate the bolts.This guy used one giant washer per socket: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/the-big-tomato-resto/Brian performed a miracle here: http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/like-a-phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes/msg119567/#msg119567
