Fascia bolts- WAY TO FIX



Hello List,
Today I decided to fix my broken fascia bolt problem. Rather than 
cutting out the old stud plate and glueing in a new one I decided to do the 
following.
I went to the hardware to get bolts like some of you reccomended. I 
thought I would have to remove the plate because the bolt head would take up 
too much space glued on top of it. While I was at the hardware I found nice 
stainless steel countersunk Phillips head bolts. I first cut the the 7 studs 
along the bottom down, and grinded them them down flush to the surface of the 
metal plate. They had the countersunk head so I did not have to grind the 
plate off and glue them to the plastic. I bought expoxy and set the 
countersunk bolts right onto the existing plate with "locktite" auto epoxy. 
withing 5 minutes the bolts were set and would not move. The whole process 
took 25 minutes and less than $9.00 for the materials(cutting wheel,epoxy,SS 
bolts and nuts)

just wanted to let you know how it went. Rather than cut the whole plate out 
and glue to the actual fascia I would just glue it to the steel with a 
countersunk phillips head bolt.
