Best way to patch 4 holes like this that are going to be drilled back through and have a rivnut installed? Would jb weld plastic bonder work? Chopped carbon fiber + some other 2 part epoxy? Cut out the whole end piece and replace with a new end cap?
>>28117072Seems undamaged. Why can't you just put a rivnut in the current hole? What is it?
>>28117394If the rivnut is too big, pop a helicoil in it.
>>28117394>Seems undamaged. Why can't you just put a rivnut in the current hole? What is it?I posted the wrong picture like a retard, one of the holes is oblong and oversized, 2 of them a little thin.It's a carbon fiber wing. All 4 rivnuts on it were rusted to shit and had to be drilled out
>>28117072Depends on how the force is going through those bolts. The right way is probably to recap it, but you could likely get away with cutting a little peice of steel sheet with the right size hole, epoxy it in place over the hole, and lay a layer or two of carbon over it to bond it in place. Then at least you've got something structural for the rivnut to hold onto that won't pull out again.
>>28117727Might even be good to cut like halfway through the carbon fiber layers to inlay the steel sheet
>>28117721If it needs majorly strengthening, I'd cut a slit in the carbon so I could slide in a metal washer from behind. Id glue it in and add the rivnut while it's wet. then refinish the outside with short strand fiberglass filler, and maybe a patch of carbon for cosmetics. I showed a metal plate, but you could use a bit of wire attached to a washer.
>>28117072Just buy a new part poorfag. Learn how to drive better next time.
