RE: [DML] Possible to repair these broken studs?




I never actually had to fix any of these, but couldn't they just be drilled 
out and replaced with pan head screws? If you wanted to retain them in the 
metal plate you could put nuts on them secured with loctite. That would turn 
them into "poor man's" studs. I don't think the height of a nut would be so 
great as to cause any noticeable misalignemnt of the fascia. Of course you 
could also spot weld new studs in there, but that's a lot more work if you 
don't have the equipment.
