If you do the HD insert be sure to note that the slotted end of the insert is NOT for a flat blade screw driver. It is for cutting its own thread into the insert cavity. Use a 1/4-20 hex head bolt with a nut on it threaded up under the hex head to take up space and screwed into the insert. Use a socket wrench on the hex head bolt to drive the insert into the fairing. To go the extra mile, the outer thread pitch on the insert is a 3/8-16. If you have access to that size tap, it will make the job easier.
I just checked out dawgs link. It says it all.
