Hi,

I've got a cast iron downpipe which has a section with an access hatch. The bolts on the hatch door have been corroded over time and have broken off, so it leaks quite a bit in the rain. I've tied it back on for the moment with some string, but looking for a better fix without having to replace the whole section ideally. Any ideas?

Cheers!
