I am trying to re-hang the leaf springs on the passenger side of my '75
Midget.  Instead of using nuts, they decided to thread the body,
conveniently up inside a structure piece, so you can see it through a
little hole but not really get to it.  And one of them is stripped (on
the end by the gas tank, under the trunk).  What is the safest/best way
to go about fixing this?  Self-tapping bolts? I can get 2 out of 3 of
the bolts in fine.  Thanks!
