Yeah... no ####... $1100... for a freakin box? If nothing else, fiberglass works real good for that kinda stuff.
Use a wire wheel to remove any rust. Cut a piece of glass (or an old cotton sheet) a little bigger than the hole. Pour out about a 1/4 cup of resin into a container, add 5 drops of hardener and use a cheap paint brush to paint some on the area around the hole. It's gonna harden real quick, so be real fast with applying the fabric or glass over the hole--stick it down to the resin you painted on.
Once it's stuck on pretty good and doesn't want to peel off, mix up 1 cup of resin and add about 10 drops of hardener. Paint it on over the glass matting until it just soaks through, then stick another layer over it... repeat... until you've got about three layers. Put one layer on the inside, overlapping the edges. This way, even if the resin separates from the metal, the overlap will hold it in place.
More work on the W900...at the dealer again

The dealer is fixing it. 5hrs of labor and the rest of the $1100 is for parts. So it's almost a 50/50 split. The one I saw on ebay started at $750, so that wasn't much of a deal. Most of the parts arrived but one needs to come from ATL, so it will be mid next week by the time it's done....I was like.. "Whatever..."

Yea I know....the only good thing is I got a great service manager and dedicated 2nd shift crew that work on my rig. They do top notch work..
Of course they charge top price ($113/hr) and do every dam thing by the FLAT RATE HOUR book. At least Petro charges by the 1/2hr...of course there, you get what you pay for...
