Anyone have any Ideas on how to patch this ?
I was thinking of using a Aluminum patch riveted to the outside and then use cloth and resin on the inside but ??
Would a Filler plug/chunk be better than lairs of woven cloth ??
I am just at a loss here ??

Can of WORMS !

Well I went after the 2 holes in the lower tub and found my lower tub was filled with BONDO & Chicken Wire ! I Blasted the Fiber glass with Baking Soda from WallMart. (worked really good in a speed blaster ) And ground the rest out. Well I sure have my work cut out for me now !!! I Need to get some chunks of fiber glass to make fill in patches for sure. On a Good note I did get the tranny adjusters done 0527171328-00.jpg0527171328-01.jpg0527171510-00.jpg0527171511-00.jpg0527171329-00.jpg

Thank you ! I was going to Soda blast around the hole's that way I get a good bond. I don't have any fiberglass that thick to make a plug out of but I will see if I can dig something up ??
Would like to reGelcoat it also but need to read up on that ? This stuff is all new to me as I Weld everything together !! LOL!!
Again Thank you for the help !

Make sure that you clean the area around the patches and grind down to old glass. I would make a "puck " of some kind to fill the hole and then paint a coat of resin over the repair area, lay on the batting, insert the "puck",,smooth with a spreader. Repeat on the other side. Let dry 24 hours install a second layer of batting.

Well I got the left side Middle chain set up in and see I ma use a 1/2 link as the center chain's are WAY to tight !
Went and tore it down for finale welding and clean up so off to Paint and powder coating
Also made up some T20 adjusters out of Hex stock so adjusting is easy. Now on to Fiber Glass repair to the lower tub. Any Pointers out there on this ??
