Thumbs up s2000 missing seat bolts

I stripped my (2) of 4 seat bolts on both seats trying to put in those cool locks

I've never had an experience with JB weld that ended well

and I've tried many, many times.

Your mileage may vary.

BAD idea. It's only a matter of time before the vibrations break the JB weld. Get a self-tapping die and use a larger bolt. I wouldn't have dremel'd it.

Better idea since it is already striped out

Drill through and use bolt/nut with a backing plate (with sealant to prevent water intrusion)

Yes, fix this or just give me your car, for your own safety of course.
