@HusseinHolland Looks great.  this is what I did with similar brittle mounting points on my tail lights.  Worked unbelievably better than I expected 🙂

 

Thanks for the tip Richie.

I should have clarified - the tail lamp mounts to body are perfect - on the 280Z the trim panel is secured to the tail lamp first, then the assembly is bolted to the body. The trim panel has short hollow cylinders that the panel screws locate in - those are all gone. I tried reinforcing them with JB weld, all that happened was the panel cracked outside of the epoxy instead. The entire panel is brittle, any flexing (which happened when I made the mistake of picking one up with one hand) and entire sections of the panel snap off.  The last piece that I super-glued back is the top section of the right panel - you can see the vertical breaks here:
