- With as many of these rubber bumper guards as I have purchased that have the inset-molded nuts missing, I'm sure this is not an uncommon problem. Have any of you come up with a way to repair these t

- I just finished writing an answer to this and my computer hung just before I finished. So, I writing again. I just did this last week on one that I was trying to take off but it was seized. I had to

- Just for my clarity: are you talking about the overriders? On one of mine the molded insert for the nut is torn. I still have the nut but haven't got around to coming up with a solution, although in

- Yes - well, they aren't called that in the VB catalog. It sounds like we are on the same part, though, given the problem. I like Peter S' answer of basically filling the hole with JB Weld and the nu

- The nut I am working with is what I call a 'T' nut, hex head on the end of a threaded ferrule. It's the top fastener on the bumper guard. Where it was is only a crater. My concern is whether the JB W

- The upper 'bolt' doesn't need to move as the mount on the chassis is a slot rather than a hole. Just slip it up and over. At least thats what I found assuming were still talking overriders. Peter S a

- Vic, better than JB weld is a regular epoxy putty (the type that comes in the twin syringe) That is an ideal product for this. Patrick Gary, Yes - well, they aren't called that in the VB catalog. It

- That's correct. Unfortunately, the 'T' nut molded into the bumper guard has ripped out. Securing it back in place is the problem I face.

- JB weld is ideal for the this. Use a new Bolt with a large nut embedded in the rubber. That's hold it! Peter S -- Original Message -- From: Gary Tash <tashg@bmi.net> To: Peter S. <alfapete@pacbell.ne
