[QUOTE="rube, post: 220495, member: 5811"] Hi, And the epoxy has held up fine? I cut the tube off of one of the stock head inserts and am currently looking for a freeze plug or aluminum rod of the right size to block the hole on the side. A 5/16 drill bit shank fits in there snuggly. If I can find some 5/16 aluminum rod stock at the hardware store I could secure it in the side hole with some JB weld and then smooth it off. A rubber plug might even work? I could then rotate the repaired portion in towards the inside of the bike where it would be covered and not visible from the outside. I also am thinking about plugging with a steel rod from below and welding, but figure the heat would destroy the chrome. I’ll probably try the JB weld. How does that plan sound? [/QUOTE]
