Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Once the epoxy has set a quick squirt of wax to protect the area.
Leading evidence: 'Set quick squirt of wax' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set quick squirt of wax' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

One of the fixed studs has come off with the plastic nut attached!
Anybody replaced one - (any thoughts greatly appreciated) I found this on Rennlist:-

I've not had any snap off but some of my threads are a little rusty and was wondering on how to rectify the issue. Do you have more details on that one you found?
Those look like they are resin bonded.
These are some I've looked at getting previously, but it would mean chopping mine off and drilling to rivet them on.
They are bonded on - just a bit reluctant to drill a hole!.
I think they are aerospace industry items but on the odd occasion I have looked I can not find anything similar and I am not sure what they would be called in the UK?
Finally got around to fixing this today.
Here is the offending stud (offside rear wheel arch).
Here is the stud that will be bonded on to effect the repair.
The studs came with some 2 pack super strong glue.
A quick clean up with a rotary file to get back to the metal so we get a good bond.
Here it is bonded in place.
Once the epoxy has set a quick squirt of wax to protect the area.
Arch liner back in - all done!
I was also going to go down the rivbolt route, but I will give these a try first.
Nice one.
Thanks.

Edit
Not sure why I'm saying thanks, that's another £35 I won't see again!
Seriously though, looks good. There are so many little British engineering sites that we should be proud.
The bonded on stainless threaded studs are called Big Heads.
I dont think the originals are a normal thread like M5 / M6. They have quite a coarse thread. I just cleaned up with a wire brush and waxoiled. Some were a challenge to get the new plastic nuts to go on but all on and holding.

I hadn't seen anything like this when doing mine. I cut the head off an m6 boot and welded it to a 2mm plate. Made several and cut off any that looked crusty. Weld through primer, welded, primed, seen sealed and sprayed with upol gravitex. They're going no where.
