I've replaced studs on tops where the steel reinforcing was rusted away to the point where there wasn't enough to weld to. Here's how:
Pull the remains of the old stud out and then drill a 3/4" hole into the rubber as deep as you can go without breaking through. Fill the hole with a hardening adhesive such as body putty and before it hardens, insert a 1/4" carraige bolt with a 3/8" flat washer welded to the head as far as it will go. Then before the Bondo hardens, pack the remaining hole with more body putty. Finally, cap it all off with another 3/8" washer and you'll find that it slips into a recess below the surface of the rubber. When it all hardens you'll have a very securely attached stud. Tom |
