These I stuck on a magnet, inserted from face so washers went into holes, then tacked. Then welded all of these, little at a time, weld-chip-brush, repeat! Then welded up all of the smaller holes, 1/4", 3/8", and miscellaneous others! Counted 42 holes all together. Then started---------GRINDING! haaahaaa. Getting to be my favorite part. heeheeee. I ground (grinded) did grinding till it got too dark to see what I was doing. I feared grinding so much I would create MORE holes.
So gave it up for the day. Up this morning, raring to go again! No call to work, so I'll go get clamps then grind some more! Perley

I think I welded up about 12 holes, then started plugging up the rest with plastic grommets that look like rivets. Still all in all must have been 50-60 holes in that fire wall! Your patience and hard work shows!
