Surfriding intake inserts stripped, pump shoe bolts broken

[Sparkplug]

Im putting together a hull. Come to find out, the front inserts are pretty hammered, and 1 is totally stripped. The rear pump shoe, has the 2 bolts broken off in it.

I need to be at Pismo this weekend riding.

Can i put some bolts in it with epoxy for now, and glue it into the hull? Do you think it will hold? I can drill it out later and install inserts yeah?

I dont know where to find inserts in time, and I do not know how to fix the broken bolts in the shoe, without getting and installing another shoe.

Whats it gonna ride like with no intake on it? Thats the worst case right now, because Im not missing this ride

You can ride without intake grate, it's the same feeling with the stock one , nothing different, just for the safety, be careful.
After , for the broken screw, you have to grind and drill it with small drill bit, and refresh the thread.

Sorry for my bad english ....

The one that is stripped out can be retapped one side larger. Might as well do both to make them the same. The broken bolts need to be drilled out or removed with an easy out. Then clean threads with appropriate tap.
