I'm not exactly sure where your talking about but some of the bolts have speed nuts on them.

stripped bolts

Hey,
You may wanna try nut-serts. These things are real neat.The tool looks kinda like a pop-rivet gun.It has different threaded ends you put in it,the same size as your bolts.Then you screw on the end w/the nut-sert.It looks kinda like a top hat and is aluim.w/threads in the middle.You drill the hole in the body the same size as the outter part of the nut-sert.Put the nut-sert on the end of the tool.slide it in the hole you drilled and sqeeze the handle of the tool and the nut-sert squeezes itself between the sheet metal. An instant threaded hole. They are not expensive at all. I think you can buy them at like in a grainger catalog or mc master-carr. they save me alot of trouble.


Hope i can help

Tom
