So I have drilled the holes and cut the slot but I don't see any reference to welding in the brackets in the pelican tech article. Should I weld them in or just tighten the bolts and not worry?

The brackets have to be welded to the body. There are a lot of references to this in previous threads. A poor job will result in the brackets being torn out of the body.

A poor job will result in the brackets being torn out of the body. I have seen that some folks have welded them in but I wasn't sure if that was optional or not. I thought the brackets being torn out was a problem if you use the cheap U-bolts that doesn't require the removal of the gas tank. If that is a problem with the triangular brackets too looks like I'll weld them in. QUOTE(So.Cal.914 @ Apr 7 2007, 12:37 PM) The brackets have to be welded to the body.

I probably won't take it out but if I have to for some reason that would be a real pain to remove the tank again. Thanks! |
