280z front bumper ends

I started putting my front bumper back on the car and I noticed I have a problem with a broken bolt.  Does anyone know how I can fix this? I really do not want to have to buy a replacement.

I would dig the remainder of that bolt out of the bumper and either epoxy a new bolt in or use a urethane adhesive caulk

Yeah. unfortunately that stud was molded into the rubber of the bumper end when it was molded at the factory.

As Patcon suggested, about the only thing you could do now is grind it all out and glue something in as a replacement. And once you've gotten good at it by practicing on your bad one, I'd do your "good one" too, cause it looks like it's not long for this world either.

thanks for the quick response.  And I guess "good" one is a relative term! ha!

[gotham22]

guys, thanks for the help.  Drilled it and used jb weld expoxy.  Worked great

Looks great. Doesn't have to take a lot of tension. Just has to keep the ends from flopping around out in the wind!

Getting so close to getting the car back on the road after 3 years!  So excited!
