So,

im in the garage admiring my handy work, when i walk past my car with a piece of plyboard and smack into one of my bonnet catches. I used long rivets to go through the side panel into the chassis rail on all but the one i hit(ran out and used a short rivet, so it only went into the side panel itself). Sods law eh? so the result is a big nasty hole in my side panel. I was thinking the only way to fix it would be to screw a small plate onto the side panel into the chassis rail to fix the latch to, but i though id ask you guys if theres a better fix.
