One or two screws/fixings have enlarged the holes in the body work. What's the best way to sort them, short of a larger fixing?
Plug the hole with resin or glue and re drill? Nothing major, just a few niggly's.

Cheers.

How about using larger fixings and put a plate behind this will stop it getting any bigger.
I know a guy who can supply the plates

Cheers Steve. I have done that with the seat mounting bolts. Large thick alloy plates. For some reason the old ones had a nut between the rails and floor. These had forced their way through. Seat wasn't secured.

Still have enough alloy for the other bits that need it.

One of the ones is the lug locator(?) for the roof section in the top of the screen. Also some that go through the wheel arch for securing only. No weight on them. And one or two others.
