"Out of the box - you could take an extra screw, cut its head off and epoxy it upside down in the hole, making it into a stud - put a nut on the threaded top. "

I like your thinking! All I need to do now is find an extra screw. I wonder how much torque could be handled with the epoxy and the polished screw end?

Did I mention that the engine runs quite well with just 2 screws?

Keeping it running is better than buying new
