How would you fix or repair a few studs that broke off of the back of the panel?
Thanks 1968

I'm in same boat with another panel. Have wondered if could grind broken studs flat and cut another stud off another panel (something more modern and available) and use panel bond to stick the new stud on? Panel bond on sheet metal is supposed to be stick them together stronger than stock. Maybe it'd work on studs?

An idea I've thought about is , grind the damaged area/broken stud flat with the panel.
Then drill and tap it to say a 10-24 thread and put s machine threaded stud in it
