Skid plate mount nut broke free
 

Hi all,

While dropping the skid plate on my '82 Scrambler, one of the nuts inside of
the frame broke free of what I'm assuming is its weld. Fortunately, it
broke free after I had the bolt about half way out and I was able to hack
saw the bolt in half and drop the skid plate.

Is there any way to fix this other that having someone cut open the frame
and weld in a new nut? Say, some sort of grade 5 butterfly nut? The hole
is larger than I'd like to tap (I'd say 9/16" or 5/8"). Right now I'm
running with five bolts rather than six.

Thanks in advance.

Nutsert. You basically drill out your hole to the proper diam. for the
nutsert and then pound in the 'nut' part into the hole. You then have a
'nut' without reaching the backside of the frame. Should be just fine
for a skid plate. Here is a link:
