Stripped holes

[Doginjeep]

a couple screws ripped out of my tranny on a hard impact. what can i do aside from using a larger screw? Is there a recommended epoxy or liquid plastic I can use to fill it?

Which screws ripped out? idont know if it would work but you could fill them and use a drill and tap to rethread if you want to be the ultimate! Or maybe retap for a bigger screw. Just a thought...

I usually fix them with a bit of ca on the threads, or if is torn out too bad I will drill and retap for a bit bigger screw.....

Oh BTW I would lose that alloy rollbar and go with a plastic cage like the other rig ya have is, alloy will bend and tear out things, plastic flexes enuff to keep the screws from ripping outta the plastic in most cases.....

CA glue is the way to go been doing it that way for years just put a drop on top of the hole it will work down into it and put the screw in it and you should be good to go.
