'03 EC300 rad shroud screws into gas tank...

[brider]

..., are these screw locations in specific reinforced areas of the tank, or can they be re-located?

I'm putting the stock rad shrouds back on the bike and the screw locations at the tank do NOT want to line up nicely, might be the rad guards that are installed on the bike altering the shroud positioning, but I'm wondering about the nature of those screw holes. I have another aftermarket set of shrouds, and their alignment is even worse.

Is there a densified area around the screw holes that would allow a slight position-change of the screws? Maybe by filling the existing holes with some kind of non-hardening epoxy, and just re-locating them slightly?

Not sure I really want to go this route, but I also don't like the idea of deforming the shrouds so much just to get a screw inserted.
