So while bolting up my housing one of the bolts seemed to snap with ease...Any ideas on how to fix this bolt

 

did you drop the hammer on it? how the heck did you do that LOL.. anyway.. Im thinking if you can put something similar...is the other piece of the bolt still in there??? perhaps drilling it out???? hope you fix it in time..

 

No lol..was just tightening it and it just snapped and some swear words followed after..i dont think you can drill it out its welded in there i believe..

 

just zip tie it.

j/k

i thought i had something constructive to say but edited it.

 

Lol ugh killing me, i know im not the only one that has done this common.. would using polyproxin quicksilver fix the bolt?

 

Maybe some JB cold weld? I'm not sure how critical this is. If it doesn't matter too much, cold weld should work.

 

:rofl: I did the EXACT same thing :rofl:

It didn't matter, its been weeks and no issues. If you're really concerned, you could just shoot a self tapping sheet metal screw through the bolt hole.

 

this happen to me with my evo8 1 is ok dont worry just dont overtight them next time...

 

Don't use a self tapping screw, it could cause a leak since the metal plate you're screwing into doesn't actually make a contact seal against the fuel tank. You would be better off running a bolt from inside the fuel tank and running a nut on the outside. Afterwards maybe seal around the bolt with some silicone or something else that will hold up.

 

same thing happened with my evo and ^^^ was the solution

 

I snapped one too. I think it is not a huge deal

 

I broke two off recently, got to get em fixed ASAP. I'm thinking of doing a through bolt with jbweld on the bolt head flange inside the tank let that cure then, reinstall.

Any other easy fixes???

 

One broken will not leak, two side side could, two spaced apart likely will not. Quit over tightening them

 

I was loosening them... But they are both on the same side ahhhhhh!!!!! It smells of e85 whenever I'm in the car!!!!

 

Just broke one on my 8. Was just gonna leave that one out.. Shouldn't be a problem right
