How to fill holes in a controller box?

Postby notMUTCDcompliant on Fri Feb 22, 2013 11:18 pm

Any tips? Need to fill some "previous life" holes. I know the 1" hole will just have to plug...

As coincidence would have it, I spent some time today making slices on my aluminum plug selection. I needed a couple of 2" holes filled. For the medium sizes (1/2 and 3/4) the bell box plugs work well. With a little grinding, they fill the hole great.
