Stupid bolt

[SAVAGE420]

Well i was putting my plastic on and bolting it up, but when i started to screw in the one bolt on the right side of the gas tank it just kept spinning and spinning. Then i tried to take it out and for the life of me the threaded insert just kept spinning and spinning and i tried for a while trying to put pressure on it and reafing the hell outa it and the buggin bolt wont come out...then i just broke it off with about a quarter inch stud hanging out GOD DAMMIT ALL TO HELL...so how am i going to get this out? Almost going to say eff it and get a cheepo tank on the bay. Any idears fellas? I cant take a pic because the old lady has the cam today but i know you know what im talking about!

Talkin bout the threads back of the tank where the rear of nose piece fender bolts on to?
Damn... that even make sense?

[crazetoride]

no really, please get a pic, i think your about to waste your money, nothing actually screws into the tanks, there is NO thread on the tank its all on the frame, so i have no idea what you talking bout

I'm under the impression he's talking about hat upper right bolt that screws into the tank!

[Wacko Jacko]

yep that would be her, how are the metal sleeves held into t he plastic?

[climb any hill]

I have the IMS tank & don't remember but I'm pretty sure they're squared so the don't move.
Maybe an epoxy can glue it and hold just enough for the screw to come out?
Maybe even drive a small screw between the sleeve & plastic, think that would hold it in place?

I figured it out Savage!!! That new plastic is no good, I'll do you the favor now & exchange for my old stockers
j/k... but don't buy a new tank, put that cash towards another bottle of premix!
