I'm curious, since I have no firsthand experience with this... Will the repaired tank still be susceptible to the issue of a too-long bolt punching through? I suppose it probably depends on the exact details of your repair job as to how easy it would be to punch through again... Would it be possible and worthwhile to block the threads at the end of the mounting plate, to keep a bolt from being able to go all the way through?
