The bigger ones I can cut a slug and weld it in them. But what do I do with holes that are about 1/4" ? Too small to cut a slug, and I suspect that if I try to simply fill them with weld I am going to have to do a lot of welding and probably warp the floor pan. The part of the floor pan with the small holes (about 10 of them)is visible from the engine compartment. Any suggestions on filling small holes? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 388 | Can you put those copper magnets and plug weld and grind off.
My 2 cents

I recommend them highly. http://www.covell.biz/He drills out the smaller holes with a step drill to get them perfectly round. Using a Whitney punch he makes a perfect slug to fill the hole. Then holding a dolly behind the hole and with the slug in place a few light taps with a hammer expands the slug slightly to hold it in place for a perfectly crafted tig weld. His work is impressive. Best of luck. | | |
