First I cut away the fiber glass that covered the outer surface of the strut. Then, I drilled a small (1/8") hole just in front of and one just behind the strut but in line with the bolts.
I measured the distance from the drill to the strut bolts. From inside, I measured back from the drill hole and took a small hole saw and drilled over the bolts. After breaking away the material, found the nuts and tightened the strut. I found the back bolts in a similar fashion but did not need to drill as the bolts were barely covered.
I replaced each of the bolts with longer ones, added lock washers and nylock nuts to insure that they would remain secure.
In the front, I built up a 5/8" damn 7" x 7" and filled it with additional epoxy. Then I took a 1/4" x 2" x 5" piece of stainless, drilled holes to align with the strut bolts and placed it on top of the epoxy base that I had built up.
