starkmaster03 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I wanted to check to see what others are using to fill in holes under the hood where wire clips used to be. I've cleaned up a lot of the wiring under my hood and looking to finish by filling in the holes and painting the top of the wheel wells. What as worked well for you and what hasn't? Pictures are welcome as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I originally thought about bondo but have never used it. I then thougbt about welding them but i sold my welder awhile back and looking for a new one. I think im going to try leading them. Im not sure about how well they will hold up.

Patterson Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Weld in washers, or metal discs to match the hole, then smooth with filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rice Eater Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If there is access behind but that area wont be readily visible to the casual looker (I did it filling ground effects holes in a Z28 door), I took small pieces of sheet metal(size of a quarter) and used epoxy in the little syringes they sell at WalMart and glued the little pieces to the backside then filled with bondo. Since the back of the holes were obscured I drilled 1/16" holes in the filler pieces, knotted the end of fishing line, and usd that to thread through the hole and hold the patches in until the epoxy dried.

starkmaster03 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I ended up leading the holes in and it came out nice and it was pretty simple. I'll take some pictures later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
