Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone has had to repair the mounting studs on the fiberglass rear quarterpanel extensions.
I purchased a set from the good folks at MU and once again they've given me a problem. One of the studs was located in the wrong spot. Not even close actually. Yes, I could return them but since im in Canada the cost to send them back as well as the duties isn't worth what I hope to be a fairly easy repair.
I'd like to remove the stud and epoxy? it in the correct location. I've searched the net to try and find something regarding adhering metal to fiberglass but so far no luck. Since I'll need to torque it in place somewhat I would assume the epoxy used would have to be strong enough to hold the stud from spinning.
Should I look laying new fiberglass and 'drop' a stud in place or should i look at using an epoxy type adhesive. Or perhaps i'm way off target and you good folks could offer some advice?
Best regards,
Stan
