Thanks for the replies, everybody! I feel better now that i've gotten some feedback. Nobody even replied on the other forum. I was about ready to drill 3/8 holes and stick some of the cheap plastic deals in there, but these two ideas sound good to me. Due to the temp here right now, gluing might not work out, but on the other hand if I can't find the nutserts by Saturday, I'll be trying it. I had never thought about just attaching it to the rubber. Plus I still have half of a rusted screw to get out of the left one. The guy really wanted his plates worse than I thought. I guess when I asked him if I could leave them on for the 60 mile drive home, he must have gotten spooked. Oh well. Thanks again for the ideas, folks! I do appreciate it!
