Thanks. Yeah totally, I'm hoping the other guys can fix in a similar way. It's quite a clean fix.Drewzh, Way to go. Glad you got the repair made. You were very fortunate to have enough stud left to Tig a new one in it's place.
Is that Harbor Freight wrench?I had a feeling it was getting too tight but I put too much trust in the tool. I'll take that advice once I get this fixed.
I was waiting for this to come out sooner or later....Steeda who said that they'd actually recommend hand tightening the bolts rather than using a torque wrench, but included values anyway, as apparently, people insisted on them?
How did you get on? It looks like you have slightly less thread left than me, but certainly enough to tig weld a new 6mm thread on.Here is mine.
Nope, I had a few mm sticking out proud of the bracket and he just tig welded it in place.So he didn't need to even take the hood off?
I stopped by one welding shop at lunch. They said they didn't to tig welding but they gave me a recommendation.
