is the flap metal or plastic!!!
how thick is it !!!

my thought are to use somthing like pannel pins into tight drilled holes and glued in if enough "meat"

or a sutable bit off wire glued full length and through the holes
or see if you can source a new flap!!

bought a new letterbox 12.99 from B&Q a lot firmer the original didnt even have trough bolts in it to secure both sides of the letterbox
