Hi - new Foretravel owners here. '07 Nimbus. I was having trouble accessing my engine bay. Once I finally got it to release, I notice that the passenger side bracket that releases the latch was only being held in place by 1 of the 4 bolts. I stole one from the driver side to make it somewhat secure (and allow it to open mroe reliably), but now I have a question.
I'm not sure what type of screws I should use, and I'm unsure if I need to reinforce the holes prior to replacing them. I want to make sure they don't back out again - it's a bit concerning that I've lost 3. Any best practices here?
Stick a wooden match stick into the hole and then insert the screw. Should tighten up fine a with the match stick to solve the striped threads in the hole.
I've used nylon cable ties similarly.
Perfect - makes sense. I'll fix and keep an eye on them.
