Default Tunnel Cover screws/ threaded fasteners

My 1541 came with 2 of the metal clips that slide over the frame that the screws thread into missing for the tunnel cover. The clips also slide around when trying to put the tunnel cover on and a real pain overall. I think the frame is to thin to tap so I was looking for a threaded bushing or similar. Has anyone come up with a solution for this ? My ideas.... a piece of metal below each hole mounting to frame could be spot welded, roughed up and jb welded drip, tap to secure tunnel cover. Or drill the holes to a larger diameter press a threaded bushing in to secure the tunnel cover. Just wondering if someone had come up with an easier way before I start this project.
