Going to take the cycle rack off the motorhome and will need something to put in the screw holes that are left. Not sure what to search for on e-bay? Better still, anybody got something suitable hanging around they can post? Only need about 12

Can't you just replace the same bolts/screws adding rubber washers and/or maybe a smear of mastic? Alternatively a good hardware or motorist shop should have a range of blind grommets.

The mastic's important whatever cover you use to seal the holes. Don't want moisture getting into the van frame.

Luckily the body is fibreglass so no rust issues

Luckily, as you say. However they are usually constructed from a sandwich of ally or fibreglass/foam/thin ply with strategic straps of wood inserted where there are mounting points for furniture and bike racks;). Guess which 'straps of wood' rot away unseen if moisture is allowed to get at them :dk::confused::D

Forewarned is forewarned. Thanks
 
Just put a penny washer around the screw, add a bit of mastic, then put screw back in. That way, if you ever want to replace bike rack (maybe when you come to sell) the mounting points are still there.

Sorry, all static caravans. Shame, would have liked to meet you & suzy. Maybe at a GTG. Then again, meeting people at GTGs can lead to a lot..........
