Araldite some penny coins in there, but don't tell the treasury. You will get into trouble for defacing the head of the Queen! :laugh:

depends what head. If its a K-Jet head then you can use pennies but you cant on a digi head.

leave the injectors in is one way, and gearbox drain/fill plugs fit, though again this depends on the injector hole size as above :)

welding the holes is suboptimal.   tapping and screw in a threaded bung with threadlock if you must.

On the early k jet head, gearbox drain plugs will do the job.
