WHNJ701 4,164 #1 Posted July 6, 2019 see alot of tanks with the busted clips for the thumb screws. I made up 2 little parts out of sheet metal, flanged on 3 sides then drilled a hole for the small bolt. took this jb weld putty that sets up in 25 minutes. so now the hood will just attach with wing nuts onto the studs. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,981 #3 Posted July 6, 2019 For something like that I like to use nutserts. They work like pop rivets but have threads in the center.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
