exhaust sheild? ps.

[Tengai Mark Van Horn]

I welded stainless screws, head first to the pipe, basically turning them into studs. I then used SS nuts with lock washers to secure the shield. The screw size is M6. Mark

The other screw finaly snapped off. (after 20+ minutes of working it. Hot cold etc.) While some have said , just cut off the old nuts and weld new, I worry about alignment of 2 nuts being just right. Has anyone tryed, drilling out the holes, the weld NEW NUTS ON TOP OF THE OLD? I'm thinking, While it WILL, bring the shield out about 1/4 inch, I would have them in alignment using the old stumps as guides. START THE THREAD NOW... LOL Thanks ahead.
