And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal

The mounting bracket on wich my electric gate motor sits, has two holes that don't hold the bolds anymore.

I guess the only solution will be to drill the holes one size bigger and with a dormer cut new wire into it.

I've never seen dormer tools around, and guess they miy be quite expensive., anyway I guess it's kinda waste of money to buy the dormer tools for 4 holes.

Are those items for rent somewhere, or is there another solution ?

Do you mean taps and dies ?

Pretty sure hardware house on the motorway level with laem chabang and global house Chonburi sell them.

Could you take the motor off and weld nuts on the bracket ?

Pretty sure hardware house on the motorway level with laem chabang and global house Chonburi sell them.

I guess they have them, but I assume they are quite expensive for a one time use, as I don't only need the tap but also the tool where that holds the tap.

I can take of the motor, but the bracket is fixed in the concrete, and welding nuts on top is no option of course, other than that I would need a welder for that.

Would it be possible to use rawlbolts to replace the existing bolts (might involve drilling out the old thread completely.

Let the gate installer do the work, he has the tools, and know how.

You think that would be the most economic solution ?
