While removing the rear fenders (wings) on my TR4A, I broke off several of the 
bolts holding the fenders to the "B" post. I tried drilling, EZ-out and heat, 
to no avail. I finally succeeded in heating the post hot enough (cherry red) 
that I was able to remove the captive nut. My question
for the list is what do you use as replacements for these nuts? I am sure that 
I am not the first to experience this and what is the best solution for 
re-hanging the fenders (wings)

Thanks
