[QUOTE="Goss, post: 1043872, member: 87830"] There's an old saying "you don't bolt and weld. Either bolt, or weld". I'm a bit differnet about epoxies. When I need an extra "grip" I like to just just a smigent of Red Permatex RTV on the threads and under the head of the screw. It helps prevent loosening up due to vibration, but more importantly it seals the threads up tight against any moisture to prevent rust. If I feel a few socket head cap screws are not enough, then it's time to either silver solder or TIG the part in place. [/QUOTE]
