C4 Tail light Lense
I am sure many people have run into this issue, so here goes. Two of my lenses have cracked mounting screw holes from the previous owner; there is no way to fasten them to the car via the original screws. Any ideas on how I can still make use of these otherwise great condition lenses?

All four of my 84s taillights were cracked out beyond using again. I bought some longer bolts and made studs out of them. I drilled out the holes and ran a tap in them the same size as my newly made studs.
Mixed up some JB Weld and screwed the new studs in with JB Weld on the threads that went into the taillights. Let them set up and installed using wing nuts.
Have had them all out to replace the bulbs and no problems with them holding at all.
Good luck with your repair.
