I am about to change the fuel filter on my R129 but first removed the cover to inspect the filter. Despite spraying the plastic retaining nuts with WD40 first and being gentle, one stud immediately snapped off and sods law it was on the rear where there is only one so the cover probably won't stay in place if put back on.
These are the really weedy studs like the ones that hold the arch liners on. Can they be replaced and if so how and what with? One option would be to araldite a threaded bolt where the old one was but can they be drilled out and replaced? If so is there a specific part for the replacement?
I will probably get my indy to do it anyway as I will need a couple of bits doing anyway but would like to know what's involved as if it's straightforward I might do it myself.
