I've seen the lads from the Norfolk Tank Museum, "Tinkering with Tanks" channel, cold stitch a crack in an engine block, but this is the first time I've seen this combined with JB Weld. What a great resource TH-cam is. Great initiative, well done.
Years ago I had an accident with my car. The main damage was a punched hole in the top of the aluminum oil pan. I did basically what you did, bolted in a patch. But instead of JB weld I used "Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker" to stop oil leakage. Worked perfectly, never leaked a drop, sold the car after 5 years and still a perfect seal, zero oil leakage.
I’ve seen fuel tanks last 10 years on JB weld…might be a little different with the thermal cycling, but if you didn’t have a drill or a welder and wanted to get those screws out…it would be a bad day. We have a Honda generator case that threw a rod and another one for spare parts. Might try this.
Nice job!
Tom I think you will be ok, Good job and thanks for the video
