Default Catch Basin/Grease Trap Lid repair

If it really can be reapired you would need some welding equipment minimum
and a sand blaster would be nice to clean it up. You should check the
yellow pages for a blacksmith ing, they are getting rare but would be
exactly what you need. If you aren't already experienced in welding, then
it probably isn't a job for you. While you're at ti, check the Y pages for
Welder as well.

I guess the alternative would be to dig up and replace the old trap with a
new one at great effort.

Hello,

I have an in-floor grease trap lid that needs repair. The bolt holes are
stripped and one eyelet hole for the lid has broken off. Please recommend
any "Do it yourself" resources for me to use to re-tap the the bolt holes
and "weld" the eyelet back on the lid.(Lid is cast iron. House was built
in 1940's. Or, if anyone can suggest an alternate means of securing the
lid I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks Ken
