Rear Hood Hinge - Threads Stripped

[Richard Knight]

I took a short piece of flat stock, measured off the CtoC distance of the two holes, drilled and tapped it for the mounting screws, mixed up some jb weld, applied it to the bar stock and stuck it up under the cowl, put the screws in until the jb weld cured and then I could install the hood and bracket. Might be easier than putting two nuts up under the cowl?
