I will need this pair for sure.
Got any tips on how to repair the mounting hole.
It's on the side.
It's where the mounting screw goes in.
As you can tell, its bored out.
I was thinking J/B Weld, but wondered if you have a better option ?

Personally, I'm not sure that epoxy will hold. I think your might be better served by using a plastic screw anchor, especially since it looks hollow on the inside. That would be the first thing I'd try.

I agree with my brother. I think I'd just add that you could even just use a washer with a screw. It honestly don't look that bad, I've seen worse.
