Re: 55 in NH build

in my haste to install the passenger door I failed to clean out the threads and jammed up one of the bottom hinge bolts. when it didn't feel right I tried to back it out and the nut broke its welds inside the door. I was able to recover the nut and clean up the threads. I was trying to figure out how to weld it back in. Seems like most rivenut it but because this was the bottom hinge I was able to trace the perimeter of the nut and drill 4 holes on the corners. I was able to fish the nut through the door using a piece of wire through a bolt shaft that I tapered so I would slide a nut over the wire to hold it in place as I welded. I got lucky on this one.
