Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

I checked and the grommets are too thick to fit under the brackets with the holes.

I don't think the bolt is long enough through the grommet to catch another nut on the other side, assuming I could find a slim enough nut and replaced the bolts with longer.

Since no welding ability I might try to put a very slight bend in the hole so that when I push the grommet in it catches harder and surround the area with JB weld.

another thought is to turn that nut upside down and force it into the bracket the small part going through the bracket and if you have to bend the bracket back down. with jb to hold it while you tighten the bolt.

So I got no friends... at least none that weld. Is there something like JB Weld that would work? Seems like I've heard of people using that on car exhaust.

I tried several varieties of high temp JB weld and all failed rather quickly (and made a mess of the surrounding area.

Good to know- thanks
