When I changed the handbrake cables, i had the same problem. I hat to drill one bolt out, and i use normal "body screws" (I don't know the correct name) but you can easily use self tabbing screws. I am not familiar with Jim's trick. worth a try.

is it fixed Jim?

any photos?

It did not work when i drove to MOT, and they tested the exhaust gas values. the car passed.
