Stripped Single Coil Screw Hole

[dotsdad]

I accidentally stripped the screw hole in the fiber bobbin of one of my Duncan single coils. I tried super gluing a nut, but the torque of the screw broke it right off again. Just wondering if you guys know of a good way to fix it before I end up going the duct tape route...

I put super glue inside the hole then drilled a hole slightly smaller than the hole then screwed the screw in and it held.

Epoxy and self-tapping screw through that? Idk

But superglue was never good for torque, I'll tell you that much

a little epoxy in the hole then rethread seems like a good way forward

Cured epoxy is like 1,000 times harder than the forbon.

Small square of fiberboard epoxied to the top or bottom of the bobbin. Redrill and rethread that. If you want to be extra slick, you can drill out your stripped hole to a larger size, then plug it with a new piece of fiberboard or that nut you were using before (but use a better glue than super glue; it stinks for metal).
