I'd put in rivnuts (as Jim suggested). There's entirely too much danger of
epoxying the bolt into the nut.

If you do go the epoxy route, buy a bunch of nylon bolts and use those to hold
the nuts in place while the epoxy cures. If any of the bolts gets glued in, they
can be removed with a drill and tap pretty easily.

It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

That's what I'm hoping for... I'll have to see what he has available
and make due with what I can.

To answer Fred's question, the screws are affixing the trays... I'd
use his mouse, but the poor thing was helping hand prop an old Piper
Cub, a couple of months ago, and wasn't following proper procedures...
If you've ever seen a rodent penetrate a sheet metal hanger door, you
wouldn't be surprised if I told you it was quite a mess!

Thanks and Best Regards,

That's indeed Murphy's Law, but I'm assuming a 6 or 8-32 screw, not
a bolt. But if you put a little auto wax on the screw, she'll come
out if the goo oozed onto the threads. The screw doesn't have to
be real tight during cure, and a regular nut + toothed lockwasher,
not a self-locking nut, is preferred. After cure and removal of
the screw, install the tray.
