JDM Wing question - broken studs

[s13 @ fullboost]

Nut cert is a solid repair like brndck said. I think that would be the best approach IMO.

Or press the old one out and install a nut-sert, and then use a bolt from underneath to attach.

I think it'd make sense to weld an extension of the stud. My concern with the nutcert is that the it wouldn't be embedded anywhere. If you put in a wall, it's held in place on all sides, but in a wing, there's just a layer of plastic that the nutcert is piercing, and that's the only thing holding it in place. Hope I'm making sense since I don't know anything about working on cars, but I'm trying to learn here.

If I decide to sell, I'll let you know. I waited years to find one local to me.
