Wilsons Sandbox

Hi. The two bolts holding my left footpeg are worn as well as the threads on the frame. I was thinking of drilling through the frame and using nuts and bolts to hold the footpeg. Will the two holes affect the rigidity of the frame? For now I just use JB Weld to hold the screws in but after a few miles on the trails they come loose again. Maybe tieraps or duct-tape will work..
