Most of the fixings on my rear arch's broke when I removed them. Now I was thinking of...

1 - fix a nut in the whole with glue/fibreglass - then bolt from inside
2- fix a bolt in the whole with glue/fibreglass - then fit nut from inside
3- just fill old hole with fibreglass and then drill a small pilot whole and just secure from inside with a self taper

or what do you suggest - im sure I saw a member do a good repair with some fixings and remember saying 'argh il do that when I need to' and cant find it anywhere, possibly brigsy or ??

I had a few that were the same I either glued a 10mm bolt in the original hole on mine so the thread sticks out or i cut the head off the bolt and glued just the thread in... Trying to think what i did :scratch: lol worked fine for me never had any problems
