| Post subject: | aerial hole |
g'day i am currently restoring a 1970 mini k. i have put a roof mounted aerial insted of the one on the nose. i bogged up the hole the first time and it cracked so i welded a plate underneath it and then bogged it up and it cracked out again. how do i fix this hole without it cracking out? |

Hard to believe - maybe the filler is shrinking? Try some of that fibreglass reinforced stuff which I think you can still get from Super(not so)Cheap. |

Try tacking/bronzing a thin disk/washer into the hole from the top to the plate you have underneath first so that you don't need your filler as thick. |

I welded my hole up, just kept moving around until no hole, then flap disk grinded it an skimmed some bog over that. |

Is there movement in the guard somewhere else?? Could be flexing and no amount of bog will stand up to that. Did you give it sufficient curing time?? |

For $10.00 I plugged mine up with a Chrome blank. Game Set Match. No more hole. Doesn't look bad at all. |

Mate..... its a plug that you buy in Auto stores for hiding a hole...it has a chrome side that you bolt over the offending orifice. |
