So you will make some brass threads to go into the larger holes?
Then taken brass screws and screw them in? it should work pretty well. Just let us know how you get on

He can't, threads have been put in now!
I suppose this has been done because it leaked? hence why rivets wouldn't seal it I guess 
Brass screws should do it!
