Re: Bonnet seals & other matters!

Hi all - I should add that I also used welding wire (and for the choke)every time - I was just telling David what was original.
DAVID - I should have added that the slotted hole was vertical, not horiz'l. The 1/8" holes were definitely for rivets, the larger holes for bolts which should line up with both your shell and the cow horns, assuming you only have new flitch plates. Good Luck, Cheers, Bill

Re: Bonnet seals & other matters!

Got that Bill, we are talking about the same bracket. The vertical slot doesn't really match up well with any other holes, so a little "adjustment" will be in order! I will bolt up the other ,currently unused holes, in due course...should tighten up the front a bit!
My rivets are all good!!
