My original holes were both HUGE because the factory insert had pulled
out with the bolts the last time the generator came loose.
I tapped the largest that I still had good metal left for 7/16-20
Because I wasn't using a new insert I put JB Weld onto these threads To
avoid what Greg warned of I marked the threads to know when to stop
threading them in. The addition of the two 'studs' in the webbing was
actually an idea from someone on this list (Greg Field I think) They
aren't actually studs they are 5/16" bolts that I submerged inside of JB
Weld that I had filled the two voids with. The heads provide added
rotation prevention.
I have had NO PROBLEMS and it has been 28K since this "fix"

Here's what I am thinking of duing. I have some 99% pure aluminum 'shot' from a sience class. I was going to melt that, and then pout it into the cleaned holes, then retap new holes into the new aluminum. My concern is that the new metal will not adhere to the original casting. Or, JBWeld some studs into the holes. Still, I worry about adherance issues. I'm talking BIG holes, here! The Arizona Kid LFL 009 Tom Short AZ MGNOC Rep Phoenix, AZ |
