I did not want heat them up with the torch when i removed the tank and they broke. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 | John, I would just use a piece of grade 5 or 8 threaded rod the right length, warm it to cherry red and flatten it with a hammer as original. Then you can drill for bolts or rivets as original. When I removed mine I ground a lot of the original nut away then split it open. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 348 | thanks splashoil, how long are the studs overall | | |
