[QUOTE="anlrolfe, post: 7443371, member: 113233"] I'd lean towards using a quality 2-part epoxy. Clean, dry, and degreaser most important. If there was enough meat around the hole, I'd drill it oversized and tap to a larger hole to give fresh clean surface area to bond to. I'd fill the oversized tapped hole with epoxy and tap to the correct size for the OEM screw. If you insert a coffee stir straw into the epoxy you'll have your pilot hole, just seal the end and brace centered in place. [/QUOTE]
