Subject:      Fixing Fibergalss Bumper
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

My (new to me) rear fiberglass bumper has a bit of ding in the corner and when I took the side cap
off, ONE of the SLEEVES, that one of the bolts goes into, is broken completely off.  There are 3
sleeves and 3 bolts that go from the rear part to the side/end cap).  This SLEEVE is about 1.5
inches long.  There are fiberous ends where it was connected to the side cap.


This piece is not really necessary as there are 2 other bolts (3 total) and a bolt to hold the cap
to the frame.


BUT,  is it possible to fix this??  what is the best material?  just Bondo?  or JB Weld?  or
what??  There is no need to be cosmetic about this, as the 'fix' will be inside the end cap.
If you need/want pictures, I can provide them.   Thanks  Malcolm
