The guy from Oklahoma that sold me a bumper that's going to get replated, failed to disclose that two of the threads were stripped. Whats the best way to repair this? Heli-coil? Time cert? JB weld a nut on the back of it? Have a nut welded? Suggestions appreciated. 73 style bumper.
Thanks, Tod
Tod -
no JB weld - it'll eventually rattle off, probably at the worst time while you're driving it & cause all sorts of havoc on the car!
Try to re-tap first, then try insert if not, then if still not try to tack-weld a nut on the back face/inside of the brace(s) in question - IMHO, of course.
