Snapped Fender Firewall Bolts

[Stretch97]

So I recently acquired an 06 LJ, and when taking off the aftermarket fenders I snapped some of the bolts that go into the firewall… woof.

While trying to extract one bolt I accidentally punched the existing nut into the tub, and there’s no way to access it internally.

I recently discovered @mrblaine nutsert concept for the skid plate, and I think this would work perfectly for these firewall fender bolts.

Has anyone else snapped these bolts? If anyone knows of a product that exists for my issue let me know, I’m all ears.

 

[P man]

I thought all fender to tub nuts were accessible on the backside? Which one isnt?

From what I’ve seen they are not accessible, they are encased by the tub on all sides. I think nutserts/ using a rivet nut setter tool is the way to go.
