[Roadsters] Trim Screw Holes getting larger

I recently had a whole bunch of stuff anodized (?) chromed (like the cowl) 
and when trying to refit (with consistent screw sizes) found that some of 
the holes were too large to take the smaller screw. So I filled up the holes 
with JBWeld - left them for the appropriate time and then redrilled them. To 
save pressure, I also positioned small rubber washers using an emery glue 
stick and tightened cautiously.
The  only caution is that JBWeld has a tendency to crack in this 
application, so make sure you fill the hole completely and drill the holes 
to an appropriate size rather than letting the screw tap itself.

FWIW
