I was taking out my seat-belts to remove the carpets, and found that the passenger side seat-belt cup (#101872) (http://www.delorean.eu/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=19_31_135&products_id=135004) has become unstuck and spins in place. I was able to get the bolt out in the end using some vice grips, but now I need to repair it for when I later put this all back together.

I'm not sure what it was originally glued in place with, but I was thinking that I'd use some two part epoxy such as this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/J-B-Marine-Weld-Epoxy-Adhesive/dp/B000KKPFFA) to re-affix the cup. Just thought I'd put the idea out here first to get opinions and feedback as seat-belts are pretty important and I want to make sure I fix this properly.

Originally they were set with a green colored epoxy but you could also use urethane or F.G. resin to lock them in position as all three have sufficient strenght to lock them in place.
