My newly painted SC, has two of the threaded inserts on the rad support that holds the grill gone. I bolted it on one side, but now can't even get to inside to put a nut on standard 1/4" bolt. SO, do those blind nuts put on with pop-rivet gun work? OR, can I use those Hollow Door fold-up anchors on rad support and remove bolt to put in later when grill is on?? Kinda hokey, but you won't see them. What have you fellas used or done? Too late to weld on a nut, painted now.

I had the same problem- the welded nuts popped off when I drilled out the broken bolts.

I bought Wellnuts at my local hardware store. They are rubber grommets with a brass threaded insert inside. The rubber expands to fit tightly in the hole when the bolts are installed.

I cut off the rubber lip and cut down the rubber on the outside of the wellnut until it was just the right size to press into the hole between the grille and the shroud.

Worked like a champ. Other people have recommended rivnuts- but I'm not exactly sure how they work.

A good solution would be a few NAS21075L4 nutplates, a handfull of MS20426AD3 rivets and some NAS6204 bolts and Viola! you'd have a SC grill that would stay on at Mach 2 !

The term "Mach 2" really doesn't seem to apply to an SC Case. I wouldn't want to be on one at that speed! :^)

A Case SC with orchard tin "might just" fly at Mach 2. Landing would be a little rough. :^)

Actually the jest revolved around the part numbers, as they are all to fasteners commonly used on jet aircraft.

I see. I don't know anything about airplanes. Boats and tractors - I know enough to be dangerous! :^)

Boat = Hole in the water you try to fill with money.

Unfortunately airplanes make boats look cheap by comparison.

My old tractors are sure nuff cheap compared to the boat.

The trick is keeping the hole shallow (nautical terminology). 1988 15' Rinker with 70 HP Mercury (bought new and paid off years ago). Averages about 3 gallons or less per hour - similar economy to SC Case.

Thats where I goofed then.

A while back I figured out my 20 ft Stratos and 200 hp "Johnny-Rude" was costing me about $5000 a fish to own and operate.

If you want quick temporary fix until you find something better, you can run all-thread rod from one side to the other, put an exterior nut on both ends and cut off the rod on each end flush with the nuts.
