Went to install the bulkhead sealer plates behind the wheels of the TR3A.B
The body guy must have filledB in any holes, and any cage nuts also long
gone.B
I thought I would drill holes through the plates and the lip on the bulkhead
where appropriate, but I can't use a regular bolt and nut system because
there's no room to get behind the plate to put the nut on.B So I wondered
which alternative type fastener to get.B The butterfly (drywall) type would
have to be small to fit throug the hole.B A sheet metal hex bolt could work
and is where I'm leaning.B Also could get one of those plastic inserts for
the hole and thread a screw into that to hold the two together.
Any thoughts?
