Hi, a couple of the threaded nuts that are fixed into the frame have gone missing. I have brought some more and i am wondering what to use to bond them back in?. They look like they were a press fit. how do you guy do it., I thought something like sikaflex might do it.

you need a special insert tool, they are a bit like pop riveters
