Plastic airbox nut spinning

[Wingboy]

One of the nuts is loose in the plastic.I had to drill the head off the bolt to get the airbox lid off.The rest of the bolt spun out no problem.I'm thinking of drilling a couple of very tiny holes beside the nut and stuffing some epoxy in there.Anyone have any experience with these plastic trapped nuts?

I really like jb weld or jb kwik for that kind of stuff. It really seems to work better then any thing else easily available. I seem to remmeber pulling the insert out , roughing up the hole , then gluing it back in with jb weld.

It's called a threaded insert if you are looking for a technical term to google or anything. I think the drill and epoxy idea is a good one.
