Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340
Two of my seat medallions had broken studs on the back. I've been looking for replacements but haven't been very successful. I thought that I would try my hand at salvaging them. The studs measured the same thickness as an 8D nail. I used my Dremel to grind down the remaining portion of stud and remove/ roughen the back surface. JB Weld Quick Set was then used to hold the nail in the correct position. Once it set, the surrounding area was filled with regular JB Weld for maximum strength. The nails were then trimmed to length and beveled. I believe that the repair should hold........only time will tell!
