Flare bracket mod

I was thinking about welding some bolts to these but I'm not the best welder on thin metal. Then I came up with the idea of drilling and tapping the old bolt heads after grinding the stud part off. I will use at least red locktite to hold the bolts in. Before, i had fender washers on bolts and while it works it's not ideal. Also using stainless bolts. Good idea or no?

If you want to make sure those studs never move, think about using THIS type of loctite.

Too late now. I will put them on tomorrow but I'm  sure it's going to work great.

Yeah that's a good option with brackets that are clean.  Works great!

 

I've done that as well as ditched the brackets entirely for nut and bolt with big fender washers.  Either way will work just fine.
