    Your just holding the carb on, not the bumper .

    One Heli coil will do fine. I have often used heli coils in aluminum especially if the parts are going to be removed often. The Heli coil is stainless steel and will hold well beyond the stregnth of the aluminum (plus you don't have to worry about the bolt seizing.

    Make sure to remember use red locktight on the outside of the coil and to knock the tang off the end of the coil once it's installed.
