pinned247 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Take it to someone with a welder and get them to fill the holes...then tap and die it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeisgood Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I guess it wont take much weld but there is nothing behind that hole except for more hole my thought is he went drill happy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
278 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 you could do the fill it in and tap and dye it or you could weld in a threaded rod like that in all the holes so it will match then just get nuts to fit... It would be different and might be easier cuz you dont have to tap and dye it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swrbansheeboy Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 if you try and fill weld the hole and re-tap it you'll never get the weld to take all the way through the hole and end up with a bunch of clumpy weld thats barely holding on... you have a couple options imo... tap the holes to the next larger size and run larger bolts. tap the holes to the next largest size needed to insert a helicoil of the correct thread for your standard foot peg bolts. take a small piece of pipe that has an id smaller than the thread of your stock peg bolts then drill the frame to accept the od of the pipe, weld the threaded pipe into the frame on both ends. clean up the welds then tap the new insert to accept the stock peg bolts... i know that those bolt holes are at least 1" deep and trying to fill weld them with any type of penetration down inside the hole will be a challenge for any welder, you could plug the back and use a stick to get in deep but re-drilling and tapping would be a chore. i personaly would drill it larger and sleeve it but thats strictly my opinion....

smokeisgood Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 This is the rear thread hole the one that goes to the other side of the frame I guess this would be one longe piece of threaded pipe where could I find that pipe at!

tundish2800 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I had the same problem. Drill the hole out and weld a nut in the hole thats what i did. If you try to tap a weld and the tap breaks your F**cked. I can send you a pic if you want to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeJohn Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 They sell the inserts that are threaded the correct size, they are like plugs. Mine had the same problem. If you grind the welds around the cirlce they will just pop out. Then you can have someone weld the new ones in for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeJohn Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'll check with my buddie who did mine and let ya know. But I'm sure at any place that sells machine parts or a metal fab shop. Try this place. I'm not sure of the size you need. http://www.midwestcontrol.com/catdisplay_short.php?pg=225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
