Will JB Weld work for this?
So what you are saying is there is already a hole? You said it came off but I was under the impression that you still had part of a stud in place. THAT was the part I meant to drill out and replace with a bolt. If you already have the hole, I believe it would be quite easy to just lay a bead on the back side to hold the stud.
I understand what you mean about the bolt falling out and I understand it would be difficult to get behind a replacement top bolt with a wrench to hold it in place while you tighten the wingnut, especially w/o lifting the car. If you are in Houston you can get the right bolt to replace the missing one and bring it to me. I'll weld it up for free for you. I think the JB Weld would hold under minimal torque, but once you put some *** on it it's going to twist off.

know i'm new here but i have an option. if you want to fix it right, you have 2 options other than the jb. either drill the bolt out get a new bolt, cut the head off and use is as a stud to slide into the hole you just drilled, weld the bolt into the hole grind and dress your weld and your done! or just take your cutoff out and replace it.
Make your next mod an electric cutout, no more crawling under the car, and the cool factor of having quiet exhaust when you wnat is nice.
FWIW, my cutout just had 3 bolts/wingnuts that I would pull out and put in the console when I pulled my plate.

Haha guys, read the thread. Nothing is "stripped" or needs to be drilled out. I am thinking about electric, so much more convenient.
