While working in the interior I removed both seats.  I so doing I 
noted that several of the eight machine screws that attached the seat 
pan to the seat rails were either missing or had been replaced with 
much smaller machine screws.  So I drilled out the broken & missed 
sized screws and found a set of machine screws left over from my MGA 
(that I sold 24 years ago)that fit perfectly.  I new need a way to 
hold these new screws in place.  I have tried contact cement, a 
series of different types of glues, and even some epoxy putty, none 
of which worked.  I even tried to braze one in place...

Any ideas short of finding someone with a Mig welder to tack them in place???
