that is a good alternative. if going that route, clean, clean, and clean again the area of attachment. then rough up the bond area and clean again. when the body shop gives you a dab, have your clamping system ready. a "c" clamp or a like vicegrip will work for this. and if you can, using the bucket as a jig, bolt the ring in place, including the tab. glue and clamp, removing the squeeze out. let set up over night before removing the vice grips or "c" clamp. the panel adhesive is surprisingly stronger than you think.
