2. If I used red Locktite or JB Weld to secure the studs would they stay pu=
t? maybe!

 Hi all,=20
It=E2=80=99s been some time since I have posted on this list but here goes.
During the restoration of my TR4A, I had purchased a new set of hinges for =
the trunk which was about 10 years ago.=20
After noticing one hinge coming apart I found that the short threaded stud =
one that hinge actually pulled itself out of the hinge.
Two questions:
1. Is this a common failure mode?
2. If I used red Locktite or JB Weld to secure the studs would they stay pu=
t?
Thanks,
