Thanks Rich! I never thought to look in the workshop manual. Actually 
I am the one that drilled them out and should have known they were 
solid... Duh!

Now that I looked in the bodywork section I realize that my Healey 
will never be a concours car; I can't find "Stripolene 799, Howarth 
Blue Twill or Deoxidine 125" to properly prepare the metal! :-)
