how do you guys fix this issue M1101

[Buffalobwana]

Im sure it's probably a common issue. How do you go about getting new inserts or rigging the pulled out insert holes to fit some kind of nut? I know there are alternatives out there since the holes are likely stretched out too much to fit a standard insert.

It is expand rivet nut. You can buy it from URL below.

Done!

Thanks, I didn't know the name, couldn't google it. Google wont understand the term "thingy that goes in the hole that you screw bolt into". Too many bad "keywords" in there.

just send the trailer to me and forget about the problem.

Not this one, my friend! This one is special! I got a very good trailer this time.

New tarp, never been used, tires had whiskers on all the lugs still. The center lug whiskers wore off in 50 miles. These tires have never seen pavement.

I have won and lost on GovPlanet auctions. This one was a win! I did pay more than average, but, I got quality for the money. Only problem was a few of the bolts had pulled out.

New bows and tarp and wheels. New shocks, and a trailer in excellent condition. I couldn't ask for a better trailer. I'm very happy with this one!

But thanks for the offer to fix it. You are a generous and kind person.

This happened to my 1101 when taking the bow mounts off. Now there is a massive hole oh well.

Mine probably have a little bigger holes because they pulled out, so I figure a little epoxy engineering might be in order. Probably bend the aluminum back down, add a little epoxy around the new one, set in place, let it dry before tightening them down too much. Some release agent on the bolts and it will all work out.

Ill figure it out if the holes are a bit big. I'm just happy to find the correct parts!
