Fixed a loose rear light bean can noticed whilst washing the car. In this case the rear o/s indicator housing although similar mounts for others. Looked on inside of wing and surprised to see only one flimsy M4 stud holding it in place!

Normally two studs are moulded into the composite housing but the lower one had made a successful bid for freedom complete with nut/washer/spacer. Maybe over-tightened during build.

Found a long M5 screw that was a comfortable fit in the remaining hole. Cleaned this out thoroughly, chopped head off screw and epoxy glued in remaining stud. Should hold well as fitted deep inside body. Will re-assemble tomorrow when glue fully cured.
