Vic, better than JB weld is a regular epoxy putty (the type that comes in
the twin syringe) That is an ideal product for this.

Gary,
Yes - well, they aren't called that in the VB catalog.
It sounds like we are on the same part, though, given the problem.
I like Peter S' answer of basically filling the hole with JB Weld and
the nut inside.
JB Weld is some amazing stuff, isn't it!?
I will be trying this and let y'all know what happens.
