Snag is they are the fixing for a rubber seal - clamped between the body
and a steel section. It's already a rust trap so I'd rather not have any
extra holes.


Can't you just chip away at the rust until it falls out of its own
accord ?


Luckily the bit the screws go into is in pretty good nick. And I want to
keep it that way.
