Threaded inserts should be in those holes.
I have cobbled up something to work a few times in the past with a files 
down spark plug cap.
I also recently did the JB weld in the holes then tapped them out for 
6/23 machine screws.
Just don't make the screws too tight or you will be JB welding again.
Ask me how I know ;)
