I'm working on a '40 Packard's carb. The float bowl cover is held on with 5
screws. 3 of the holes (in the bottom part of the carb - float bowl)
are stripped.
So I'm looking for an easy way to fix them.
I've done a google search, and found 2 basic methods:
1. use a heli coil
2. us JB weld with soap on the bolt. Once the epoxy has cured,
unscrew the screw.
Wondering what you guys have done?
