If your braze on is the old style with small rivets then you wont be able to just screw bolts back in after removal. The holes left over are also too small for plastic or metal blanks from harware stores. As they can be as in this case just 2 – 3mm in size.
What I did was to buy some stainless steel grub screws. Insert them part way with an allen key and then file them down to make a stainless steel plug / blank.
Unfortunately, I only worked this out post Armourtex so I couldn’t get them flush. If you got them flush pre powder coating this would be a great solution to the holes left by old style braze on removal .
