Hi All –
I cut the hole in my firewall for my conversion. I am going to attach the new steel access plate using screws on the interior, and then welding in some captured nuts on the engine compartment side of the firewall. Being that each nut will just get a quick zap of a couple of spot welds, do I need to worry about what finish is on the nuts (raw vs zinc, etc)? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

for your application probably no worry if plated or not with a good mig welder but you could always wire wheel or balst them clean metal too. be very care full of gas fumes in the tunnel if you weld near there.
a nice clean alternate way is to use rivnuts or Nutcerts these are trade names of a captive nut, you can even install them in blind panel (no rear acess) ionstalls kind of like a rivet. |
