I'm screwed!
I had a flashy chrome cover over my taillight and it's gone after yesterday's ride. It was attached by the same screws as the taillight. One screw is missing and the screw hole is wallowed out so I can't simply replace the screw. Problem is the taillight is loose and I really don't wanna lose that. Any ideas or suggestions on how to fasten it? Homemade brackets maybe?

From the under side of the fender hold a washer then use a rivit catching the washer.
only issuer doing it this way is if the bulb needs changing the rivit will need to be drilled out
But it is a 2 min fix

if I lost it on the road I imagine the lens would shatter and there'd be no fix. Trying to avoid that situation though.
