Are your stock covers steel or aluminum? Drill holes clear thru for 2 screws & nuts apiece, then fill the countersunk screwheads with JB Weld and dress the stuff down. Use paint over the top and stop worrying- metal fasteners will not shear but chemical ones certainly will. Hot oil against the covers will soften any known glues.
