Suggestion

You can drill them out, and then put a bolt through and tighten a nut down onto it to secure it, then secure the heatshield to it with a second nut and washers.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am in the process of changing my rear silencers on my 2003 C2 3.6. I have noticed the Silencer Heatshields in wheel arches are loose. I went to remove the offside one to add some larger washers but both studs in the top of the wheel arch snapped. Any ideas how to replace these studs?

POST 2Original post

You can drill them out, and then put a bolt through and tighten a nut down onto it to secure it, then secure the heatshield to it with a second nut and washers. You can grind off the remains flush, then glue a stud plate onto it with structural epoxy. You can weld a stud plate on. You can get a stud welder (my local welding shop has one) that will weld a new stud on directly in place of the old one. This is obviously the closest option to oem. I use Ashby Welding in Church Crookham, Hants, whenever I need anything welding. They're cheap and the quality is extremely high.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Stud plate - perfect, didnt know they existed. Will just need to find out the size - M4 I guess.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
