Motors 9101207 Body Repair Patch Kit, 11 Gauge Plate

These 11-gauge welding discs are designed to fill the holes in the heavier gauge metal areas of a car, such as the frame. This 29-piece kit includes sheet metal patches in several conventional hole sizes. The patch itself is slightly undersized to allow it to fit cleanly into the hole, however, the real icing on the cake is the tabs surrounding each circle. The tabs along the perimeter center the patch inside of the hole, while also providing a gap for a clean butt-weld. Butt-welding can withstand stress better than any other type of joint, so not only is it the easiest way to plug the holes in your car's body, it's also very strong. There's no chance of it cracking or chipping like fiberglass or body filler, and you won't have to worry about it ever rotting away. The gap that is provided by these tabs also helps to keep your post-patch fabrication to a minimum, as the weld is able to fill in an open area, instead of pooling on top of your patch. The less of a bulge you have on top, the less grinding you'll have to do to get everything looking smooth and clean. These .1196” sheet metal plates are the perfect thickness to plug holes in the frame. Keep in mind that depending on the age of your car, the location of the patch, the manufacturer, and other factors, there are several different gauges of steel that these panels can be made out of. We offer the frame plugs in 12 and 11 gauge, so no matter what frame you have, there's a patch to fit. 11-gauge steel (approximately 0.1196" or 1/8") 29-piece assortment of sizes. Tabs around disc allow for strong butt-weld.
