Fixing broken turbo tail

My turbo tail has been loose. Removed it and learned why.

The bolts go through the decklid and screw into clip nuts. The fiberglass has broken where the clips attach.

My plan is to get some aluminum flat stock, about 1/8" thick, cut 3" sections, epoxy to the upper side of the remaining fiberglass flange, remount tail, mark the bar stock where the bolts need to go, remove tail, drill the bar stock, remount tail with fresh rubber and nuts on the upper side of the bar stock.

Make sense?
