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?

I actually spoke to some one who makes these nut plates and he did not recomend welding them in unless you know what you are doing. His concern was that a poor welding job would result in very thin sheetmetal at the edges which would be weaker than just bolting them in. Makes sense to me.

Makes sense to me. eek! i have the tank out to do fuel lines/f.p. relocate AND was planing to install stock bar. i hadnt heard of the need to weld before. was the factory installed welded? i agree w/ dave darling if not welded by experianced welder it could compramise the sheet metal anyway. maybe spot welding the bolt heads to the inner plate would be a good idea as you could r&r bushings from inner fenders later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . |
