This set of tank lids must have been serviced many times and the bolt threads have become damaged, We were tasked to remove the old bolts and fit new ones.
Due to the age. damage and corrosion of the old bolts they took a bit of removal, some had to be cut off and drilled out.
We then re-tapped the holes to the next metric size up and ground back to fresh steel for weld prep.
We then inserted new stainless steel bolts and tig welded them to the back to seal them in.
the old bolts were not only damaged they were rusted in…
After weld prepping and threading the new bolts in place, the new bolts were tig welded from the back to lock and seal them in position.
