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) |
