Replacement Of The Weld Nut And/Or Reinforcement

  2. Drill out two 8 mm (5/16 in) diameter access holes adjacent to the weld nut clearance hole.
  3. Thread a length of copper welding wire through the clearance hole and position to secure the weld nut and washer.

  5. Metal finish as required.
  6. Perform the Functional Test. For additional information, refer to COMPONENT TEST  .
