JBweld, Gorilla Glue, or weld it?

[Jaybr]

I'm installing the Duff hidden tire carrier on my 73, and with this kit you can't install the bumperette bolts leaving 2 square holes in the middle of the bumper. I would just cut the threads off a couple of the bolts and weld them in from the back side, however my bumpers have already been powder coated.

my thought it to cut the threads off and glue them in with something, just not sure what?

it's purely cosmetic, but I'd like them to stay put once glued in.

last option would be to grind off some powder on the inside, including a spot for ground, and tack them in then paint over the bare metal.

Thoughts?

Why not just use a nut on the back with a carage bolt

I would look for some really strong epoxy. Welding will burn the powder off the front side.

This tire carrier goes behind the stock bumper and there is no room for a nut

Epoxy... clean, clean, clean. Last forever.

Clean well, slight sand on the powder coat area where epoxy will be applied. No need to break through powder coat, just give the epoxy some teeth to grip onto. Then use JB Weld. It will bond and last forever.

Devcon 2-part epoxy. I use it on my knife handles and haven’t had any turn loose yet.
