I posted last night about considering getting a 1990 SSP for $60, and I picked it up this morning. The enamel is in good shape for the most part, but there is a small hole in the bowl under/behind one of the grate brackets. The hole is smaller than a dime and just wondering what the recommended options are. I was thinking maybe just a dab of high temp silcone? Since the hole is behind the bracket, there's not a lot of room to put a small bolt and washer (I think). Also, the grate brackets aren't in that good of shape as the bent ends that hold the charcoal grate appear to be ready to break off. What's the recommended repair for this? Otherwise, the stainless steel, frame, and lid are in pretty good shape.
Here are the pics.
Here's the hole in bowl from the outside.
