Then put them back together with the new oil?
its best to weld. dont use jbweld as it will come out. any local garage with a welder will weld the holes for a few £.

if push comes to shove then countersink the hole a little and put a countersunk screw in with a good oil resistant threadlock and leave overnight then dress the head off. dont blame me if they come out though.

you dont need to do anything else with other holes unless your using emulators.

if i had know earlier i could have done "swap out" dampers as i have a set spare but i wont be at the workshop for a few weeks.
