Hi Guys,
I'm now ready to re-set all my tank nut inserts and worded is this correct JB weld (which for plastic welding)?

Hi Ned,
I've had mixed replies. Some saying it worked really well with JB weld and others saying it didn't. Also that this was because some used the 'metal' based JB weld and some this 'plastic' based version.
Is this the one that worked well for you?

Any of you other guys experienced the two different JB welds for these setting these tank nuts?
I went for this one Dan, Others have used the standard JB weld with great success, but I based my choice on the fact that this says its petrol resistant. I did the repair in September and its still solid with no shrinkage or leaking evident.
Or... as I said last time you posted re this:
QuoteI used the Marine version, coz it said it's fuel resistant, don't be tempted to roughen the inside of the hole as the nylon is very thin in there... I used the original nuts and didn't alter them in any way.
I left a lip around the hole so that the repair was held in place once hardened - just like Mustang did. Follow the 'how to' and you won't go wrong.

Hi JayDub,
thanks for posting, so you mean you used the 'plastic' or the 'metal' JB weld version?
Ha! I forgot to post the link Dan, it's 'JB marine weld', it sets like a hard resin, I don't think it's plastic?
