i did that replacing my suspention arms! tough to get off aint they.
i just broke off the plastic stubb, and shove an m4 nut and bolt through.
worked a treat, make sure you make the hole a little bigger on the tanks body!

i would do but i dont want to risk taking the tank apart again incate i damage it some more, the place i broke mine was just near the electronics and any false move an i think it could short,

but in brief,

1 compleatly drill out the area where the pivot for the suspention arm goes, the same diamiter as the hole in the new metal arm
2 Find a nut and bolt and bolt ( i think about m4 - m5 (4mm-5mm dia)) and bolt though the suspention arm and the new hole you've made,
3 secure bolt with a little loktite,

that should work,
