Sure, they hold two parts together but they wont strengthen the spar just by filling a hole in it. What if I drilled a hole two inches away from the bracket, oops, then just put a rivet in to repair. No way right? Scratches, all retained under the bracket and filled with Hysol? Dang, its a tough one. If the bracket and Hysol maintain the integrity of the spar after all those holes then I am not sure it would not retain the scratches. Just me thinking.
