OOps.. Repair Idea's?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was installing motor/transmission into my 1985 C-30 and accidentally transmission dipstick tube put a hole the size of a quarter into the air condition suitcase. Does not appear to have damaged any of the internals.

Asking for repair suggestions as I don't believe it necessary to replace the case.

Thank you for all suggestions!

Aluminum Tape or epoxy a patch in place.

Pick up a plastic welder and get to work! With a little practice you can have it looking like nothing ever happened.
