I usually hold the nut in place with a bolt, tack weld & allow to cool, then remove the bolt, spray with anti splatter & fully weld. If you find that you need a tap to clean the thread out. they are cheap enough here 7/16" UNF Tap

you need to fully weld the nuts and make sure you weld the seatbelt brackets to the chassis on both sides. my iva inspector checked both, luckily i had pictures to prove i welded the brackets both sides as he couldn't see them

First job was apprentice welder in the early seventys and used to stick weld in shipyards and had large lump of slag go down the jumper and ended up on the undercarriage after chipping the weld,Not funny.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
Did the brackets Friday night. Ground the zinc off the nuts then fully welded them to the plates. I've just tacked the plates to the chassis for now, but I'll make sure I fully weld them both sides and take photos for Mr IVA man! |
