Hey gang! Long time reader, less frequent poster of late.

The car is doing great performing it's weekend duties of starting up and driving about 10 miles. The rest of the time it's under cover in a garage providing mystery for the neighbors (what kind of car is it??)

Anyway, after probably the umpteenth time the top has been down and up in it's life I had one of the primary pivot bolts in the frame come out. I figured that with time it had worked its way loose but sadly, it had stripped out. I can get it back in and it works to hold the top up when it's covering the interior but as soon as I pull it down, the bolt pops out.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Can I get this hole re-threaded? Maybe a shot of JB weld in the hole?
