I had to refit my original sportspack arches after a respray. Several of the original studs were knackered... I cut the heads of some M5 bolts and expoxied them into the arches. Worked a treat.
If you have original arches then I think the the studs are available once agian from Somerford Mini (STUD001... the nut being FN105041, and RY612535 being the large head pop rivit for the ends).
See them at... http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/index.php?main_page=page&id=29

If you have aftermarket arches (e.g. fibreglass) then maybe others can answer your question better... but I'd suppect a 3/8" or 1/2" selftapper and a little epoxy might be a decent solution.


Cheers,
Colin.
