Any epoxy specifics out there?
Aren't they just supposed to be held on mechanically by the studs? Although the factory method obviously comes up short from time to time can you think of a way to mushroom them out to gain purchase.
Yeah, it's a mechanical bond. Super-short self-tapping machine screw, large, thin washer, plenty of 24-hour epoxy?

I used the 24-hour kind, not the quick stuff. The quick stuff sets up too fast. And I used 1/4-inch long bits of steel wool in there, too.
