small piece of metal, make 3 holes, one for your bolt 2 for rivets. rivet it with the flat side of the rivet on the top andthe pieceof metal under the hole. then u will have a fresh solid hole

tools and parts needed:

drill and drill bits
vise
cheap rivet gun
rivets
piece of small metal

all can be found at a local hardware store

good luck

cut out a piece of metal to fill the gap, use some epoxy to hold it in plac, lay a few layers of fiberglass to bond it to the bumper, then drill new holes. That way the bumper will be less likely to tear in the future at that location, if you secure it right. It shouldnt tear at all.
