I've had to repair the belly pan two or three times now...using JB weld and fiber-reinforced bondo. Several times had to replace those clips on the belly pan for the side fenderwell fasteners, as well as the lost fasteners.

You're right....speed nuts and bolts would have been a lot cheaper and stronger.
