[TR] Drivers side tail light housing

List,

Read through the archives but did not see any answer.

On my 72 TR6, I am replacing a lense on the drivers rear side.  Got it off last night after soaking with oil, but of course, one would not come off and had to be cut.

Get it off, and see that I only have 3 intact attaching points to the body.  Drilled out the one that was broken off.  Now, I could install it, but I want to get at least one tight connection on the bottom closest to the passenger side seat.  You cannot use a screw, and using another bolt and nut is an issue because all the lenses must be installed before putting back on the car and there is no way to keep the bolt from turning.

I do not want another housing, because mine is in good shape.  Does anyone have a solution to this situation?  What is the size of those bolts?

Any help is appreciated.
