WHAT TO DO WHEN ALMOST EVERY BOLT HOLE IS COMPROMISED?

WHAT TO DO WHEN ALMOST EVERY BOLT HOLE IS COMPROMISED?

Multiple bolts broken off...

Only one open tap hole...

How do you possibly mount your ProPlate when there is only one open hole for the fasteners?
Drop one fastener in the open tap hole and the problem's solved!

When faced with a situation where almost every bolt hole is compromised due to multiple bolts being broken off, and there's only one open tap hole available, mounting your ProPlate can be quite a challenge. However, there's a clever solution to address this issue - the ProPin™.

The ProPin™ is a precision CNC turned component made from solid stainless steel, and it's an exclusive innovation from ProMAXX. It's designed to solve the problem of compromised bolt holes. Here's how you can use the ProPin™ to mount your ProPlate:

Assess the Situation

Start by assessing the cylinder head with broken or compromised bolt holes. Identify the one open tap hole that you have available for fastening.

Prepare the ProPin™

Ensure that your ProPin™ is clean and in good condition. It should be machined to match the cylinder head's specifications, providing a perfect alignment.

Insert the ProPin™

Carefully insert the ProPin™ into the open tap hole. The ProPin™ is designed to drop in over a recessed broken stud, which makes it ideal for this situation.

Secure the ProPlate

Now that you have the ProPin™ in place, you can proceed to mount your ProPlate. Align the ProPlate with the available open tap hole and ensure that it rests securely on the ProPin™.

Fasten the ProPlate

Use the open tap hole and the ProPin™ to fasten the ProPlate securely to the cylinder head. Tighten the fastener to the recommended torque specifications to ensure a strong and secure connection.

Trusted Solution For Compromised Bolt Holes

By using the ProPin™ in conjunction with the available open tap hole, you've effectively overcome the challenge of compromised bolt holes. This innovative solution from ProMAXX not only simplifies the mounting process but also ensures that your ProPlate is securely attached, maintaining the integrity of the cylinder head.

In summary, when dealing with compromised bolt holes and only one open tap hole, the ProPin™ offers a reliable and efficient way to mount your ProPlate, allowing you to address the issue with precision and confidence.
