this is what i got so far

I would try to remove all of the boogered threads and put some fuel-resistant plumber's tape(if it exists) on the reamining threads. I think there is some kind of epoxy, such as Yama-Bond that coul be used to seal it. I used Yama-Bond in a float bowl on my 650 in 1994 and it still holds today. Just understand that it is a permanent bond, never to come apart again!

Took the pet and plate to Waltco tools in woodriver Il he set me up with the tools and then helped me with the dirty work !! these guys are great!!!

be carefull if theres any doubt at all id suggest replacing the petcock,2 gallons of gas on a hot motor/exhuast at 60mph could be a really bad thing trying to save $50

Im goin to paint the tank, fender and tail then locttite has a fuel safe bonder im goin to try . Some one said yamabond ive never herd of that ? but I can heat up the loctite and it will allow me to remove it if need be.
When we taped the plate we allowed a few more good threads on the pet to grab so im not to worried ! Now to mount the tank im thinkin cut 2 pieces of pipe cut out 1/4 and bend it to fit then weld it to the tank any one have a better idea???? Ive already fabed the rear tank mount and have a good idea where it needs to ride.


Drilled roters on ebay good idea or bad ?
