A previous owner of my 1968 Fastback drilled 3/8 inch diameter holes through the z plates so he could mount some ugly aftermarket passenger pegs. Now that I have replaced the ugly pegs with stock pegs in the correct holes, I need to deal with the extra holes. Early Z plates seem to be a little hard to find (they don't have a hole for the zener). I am thinking of tig welding up the holes and grinding them down, then polishing. Any comments on if this can be done and produce a nice match in colour, etc?? Any ideas on which aluminum filler rod to use?
Thanks,
