Bolt or weld?

<< < (2/3) > >>

lambert:
Had a better idea, weld some bolts over the old ones head first then use nuts to hold bash plate!

Boggert:
Bolt bolt bolt all the time, at least it can be removed for maintenance.

justinmud:
Nope mine has nothing like that just  black plastic and that is tie wrapped on so i must fabricate something  :shock:

Range Rover Blues:
Welding can be brittle and is certainly less flexible than bolts, as the Japanese found out to their cost when thei battleships started sinking so I'm told.

Anyway, I'd avoid welding something like the bash plate as it's a sacrificial part and subject to some abuse.

lambert:
tis all done up now.

as the old bolts would not allow themselves to be removed by drill without the aid of a ramp, i have welded on some bolts over the top of them and used nuts to attatch the bash plate soas to facilitate its easy removal.

if i hit it hard enough on a bit of the planet to bring it off then i can just re weld the bolts back on. :idea:  :D
