Default Stripped out studs in plastic thermostat tower

Has anyone stripped the little brass studs in the Tower Therm. housing that is used to connect the Thermostat housing? Yikes. The brass studs came out while I was replacing Thermostat. If yes, is there a quick fix.

Thx.

TT

I've had it happen to me numerous occasions on the X308's, but not the X350's. You'd either have to make sure a bolt can go through to the back side and fit a nut and washer on, or buy a new thermostat housing ( this may be your best bet ).
