stripped tank bolts

Hello all,
Has anyone had a problem with the two bolts stripping
that hold the fuel tank down? Both of mine are badly
galled and probably won t last through many more
disassemblies. It looks like I could just drill out
the threads on the old nuts, which look to be welded
in place. I thought I would then use two longer SS
bolts of the same diameter and two SS nylok type nuts
and washers as replacements.
It sounds like this would work OK. Has anyone worked
out a better method for this problem?
Thanks everyone,
Brad A9

Funny you mention this. I thought it was just me.
The first thing I did to my KLR was to put on a tank bag and wire it for an
electric vest. I wanted to raise the tank so I undid the two bolts. When I
went to put them back in, something didn't seem right. Sure enough, one was
stripped. Is this a common size or do I need to go to big Green for a new
one?
