There is no room inside for a nut. The only viable repair option appears to
be the type of peg that goes all the way through the frame (originally used
only in aluminum frames), which will require that a tapered hole be added on
the back (and be visibly different than original). These were NLA for a
long time, but TRF has recently had them reproduced. P/N 553837

Epoxy isn't as strong as the original metal, which wasn't strong enough to
hold threads. The only chance here appears to be if you can glue the peg
directly to the frame, which of course means the peg cannot be removed. But
I've never had very good luck getting it to stick to chrome, so you may need
to find a method of roughing up or removing the chrome only under the flat
part of the peg (without damaging the surrounding chrome).
Another method of course would be to braze the holes up and re-drill/tap.
But you'll also need to grind both inner and outer surfaces flat again, and
have it rechromed. Might be easier/cheaper to just find a good used frame.
