I am in the middle of doing some welding on the bottom of my bulhead and noticed 2 captive nuts on my bulkhead with two bolts in them. They are located just below the bulhead box, and don't appear to do anything. If nobody can come up with a need to keep them then I think I will just chop them out and plate over them as I need to rebuild that area anyway. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Sam*surprised*
