I took SS helicoils, screwed them onto Vaseline coated 10-24 SS screws, coated
them and the enlarged holes with thickened epoxy, and set them in the holes.
Then unscrew the screw when set, works great.

Does anyone have a fool proof or inventive fix for deck plate screw holes that
won't hold any longer?Only about half of my screws hold. The fiberglass holes I
guess are just stripped from multiple times being screwed and unscrewed.
How about the boards under the seats? I know I can just drill out the holes and
epoxy in some dowels, but has anyone done anything with latches for these? My
group 31 battery boxes are so large as to cause me to lift up the whole board,
not just the access board. Some sort of latch system would make this much
easier.
