Ferg,
I agree with Brian about the bonding surface area.
I had very little meat left too on a couple of the holes. Think I used a
spade bit and drilled the holes a little at a time until nut was just flush.
Make sure you give the gel coat and bonding surface of the hinges a good
scuff sanding.
. . . . don't worry, be happy !
