    Your not the first to make this mistake, even with the screws in the same sides they will punch through when tightened. Grind some off the length and put a washer in as a spacer.

    I wrapped my screw with Teflon tape and smeared it with some sikaflex silicon on it, dried out the screw hole and screwed it back together. Let it dry and all good, hasn't leak since.

    Cheers,
    Dave.

    I did a repair for a customer yesterday, used epoxy radiator and petrol tank repair putty, you knead it and it sets in 4 mins to rock hard, I then put a shorter screw in
