The engine mounts were fastened to the stringers with 3/8" x3" lag bolts, during rebuilding the holes are now filled with epoxy. Can I pilot drill and use lag bolts, or is the epoxy to brittle for that, or drill out about 1/2" and epoxy 3/8" studs into the stringers and use nuts to mount, or drill out over size about 1"and epoxy wood plugs in then pilot drill and use lag bolts again.

Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thank You.
 
Replacing part of the stringer altogether would have been the way to go,laid in with new glass,wait for other responses

The stringers were not that bad but they were made hollow so I filled the hollow part with new wood and epoxied them in.
