Ok so let me see if I can explain the fix I would use. I'll call them C plates
for lack of a better name. Make a round plate that is 1/4 inch larger and 1/4
smaller than the radius. Mark and drill matching holes and tap them for your
screws. Cut the plate in half and insert each in the tan
Just a thought. Drill for a ankle nut. Rivet in place.
Fill the whole, thread, top of anchor nut with urethane foam?? Or similar.
Then use fuel proof resin on the inside over the Anchor nut area to seal. Then
the bolt with screw through the foam. Should work ok. This was a thought of
mine if m
I can think of 3 options. I don't know that you can't helicoil the plate. I
haven't tried to do one that thin, but if you can thread it, you should be able
to helicoil it. The challenge isn't threading or inserting the helicoil, but
to break off the tang once the helicoil is in. If the helic
I highly recommend the Stewart Systems water based paints. Not nearly as
dangerous.
I have had great success with a Harbor Freight mini detail gun, uses less air
and much less paint wasted.

You'll only get a couple of threads in it, but that's all you had before. You
may have to cut down the helicoil depth. I've not tried to thread that thin of
a plate before, but I do know I would not install a rivnut in that application.

FWIW, I detest those darned rivnuts. The only ones you want to use are keyed
so they won't slip. Otherwise, they are really bad about slipping at the least
convenient time, often times leaving you with a bit of a problem since they are
usually installed in a "blind" area where you can't get to
