I've used fairly large sheet metal screws, so new holes would have to be drilled. I like the idea of snot on the heads. Could still remove if needed, albeit with a little work, but they won't go anywhere either.

Meetings in the morning, then back on a plane in the afternoon, home to Cali Thursday night late.
They do sell 3/16" diameter poprivets, perfect replacements for #10 self tapping sheetmetal screws. They sell the same 3/16 rivets with extra large 'flanged' heads, handy for fastening plastic air dams to the front of 'saturday night' dirt stock cars, rubber to metal, etc. Also, they sell special
backing washers made specifically for 1/8 and 3/16 poprivets, to accommodate oversized holes. In California, Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) carries them, some of the better Ace Hardware that you have out here. Or Mail order: McMaster-Carr. Or any local places that sell stock car parts.
